Medical Aid in Dying [MAiD] is an end-of-life option for people who are terminally ill. Terminally ill means you have an illness, disease, or health condition that, according to doctors, you will likely die from within 6 months. If you’re eligible for MAiD, you can ask a doctor who participates in MAiD to prescribe life-ending medications. You can take these medications at a time of your choosing.
But, only patients can make a request for MAiD. Family members, caregivers, and health care agents cannot request MAiD for a patient.
