Chadi hosts Dr. Chandana Banerjee of City of Hope and Kevin Diaz, CEO and President of Compassion & Choices, for a thoughtful conversation about Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) – what it is, who qualifies, how the process works, and why it remains one of the most debated issues in modern healthcare. Together, they explore the legal, ethical, and cultural complexities surrounding MAID, including the differences between MAID, assisted suicide, and euthanasia, the role of physicians and hospice care, the history and legal challenges of MAID legislation in the US, and the deeply personal realities patients and families face when navigating terminal illness, especially when loved ones disagree about care goals or when palliative and hospice care are no longer enough.
