Medical Aid in Dying and the 2026 Session

This year the Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) Task force and our partner Compassion and Choices are focusing on education about this issue.

In January, They provided special screenings of Other Side, a powerful feature-length documentary that follows the journey of Lynda Bluestein—a lifelong activist who, after receiving a terminal diagnosis, sought access to medical aid in dying.

After the screening, they had live Q & A's featuring Compassion & Choices staff and advocates who are working every day to advance compassion, dignity, and autonomy at life’s end.

For more information, please contact the Medical Aid in Dying Issue Lead Rev. Alexa Fraser at MAID@uulmmd.org.
