'It has made me a better person,' says Canadian medic who helps people end their lives

Dr. Stefanie Green, who previously worked in maternity care, draws parallels between that experience and her current role in medically assisting dying, stating, "Labour and delivery of a baby is one of the most important days in people's lives. It's a similar skill set to medically assisting someone to die." Her statement highlights the emotional and ethical complexities involved in both ends of life.

In her upcoming talk at the Dublin conference, Dr. Green aims to illuminate the nuances and sensitivities tied to assisted dying, emphasizing the delicate nature of the practice and its similarity to nurturing new life. She believes that, much like in maternity care, the crucial aspect of being present during such pivotal moments can have significant impact on patients and their families.
