\\nThis week on Disagreeing Beautifully we\\u2019re discussing what has been a controversial subject worldwide. We\\u2019re talking about MAID: A program that provides people with medical assistance in dying. Should a suffering person have the right to choose to die sooner than they naturally would? We\\u2019ll interview someone whose father chose to be euthanized and learn how it worked and affected the family. We\\u2019ll also explore reasons why this program has created controversy – highlighting some arguments being made on both sides.
\\nWe don\\u2019t need you to agree with everything that is said – agreement isn\\u2019t our goal. Nor are we advocating one particular viewpoint. Our goal is to understand and empathize at a deeper level with those whom we disagree. Because, ultimately, we believe our ability to engage in respectful dialogue is needed now, more than ever, to heal our world.
