Join Dr. Gord Gubitz, neurologist and Clinical Lead for Nova Scotia's MAiD Program, for a timely Ask Me Anything session focused on one of the most complex and frequently misunderstood areas of MAiD: dementia.
What happens when someone is diagnosed with dementia and wants to understand their options for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)? What can be decided early — and what can’t? And how do capacity, consent, and timing really work?
Dementia is one of the most misunderstood areas of MAiD. Public conversations are often shaped by fear, headlines, or incomplete information, leaving patients and families unsure about what the law allows and how decisions are made in practice.
In this 60-minute online Q&A, Dr. Gubitz will answer real questions from the public and health-care community, clarify common misconceptions, and explain how MAiD and dementia intersect in Canada today.
