MAiD and VSED

Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) and Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED) are two end-of-life options for individuals seeking control over their death process. Let's discuss the process for you and seeking out qualified medical professionals. Each state has different requirements

MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying): MAiD involves a healthcare professional prescribing or administering medication to intentionally hasten the death of a terminally ill patient, at the patient's voluntary and informed request. It is legal in several jurisdictions under strict guidelines ensuring the patient's consent and mental competence. MAiD aims to provide a compassionate end to suffering for those with incurable and severe conditions​​.

VSED (Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking): VSED is a method where a person consciously chooses to stop all food and fluid intake to hasten death. This decision is typically made by individuals who are suffering from terminal illnesses, chronic conditions, or severe decline in quality of life. VSED requires careful planning and support from healthcare providers and caregivers to manage symptoms and ensure comfort during the process​​.
