The bioethical debate on medical assistance in dying involves different groups with different viewpoints on the matter. However, the voices of the people requesting such assistance are often missing from this debate, their experience of the progression of their illness, their suffering, and the reasons compelling them to request medical assistance in dying.

To address this need, it is the aim of this project to build upon this knowledge by gathering testimonials and experiences of the very people faced with these end-of-life decisions. The goal here is to improve public policy, healthcare and social understanding of this medical service.
