Book excerpt: Canada is one of few countries in the world where medical assistance in dying (MAiD) is a legal option—and the number of permitted contexts (terminal illness, chronic illness, mental illness) is increasing. This collection of essays (and corresponding questions for reflection) has been made available to help the wider church discuss and increase understanding of the realities of MAiD—for our communities, our role as Christians, vulnerable populations, healthcare, social justice, God's gift of life, and our call to care for those who suffer.
