Assisted dying: The debate continues
When Audrey Parker, 57, was\xa0diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer, she decided to turn to Canada\u2019s assisted-dying law, but soon realized there was a catch: the law dictated that people approved for medically-assisted death had to be conscious and mentally sound at the moment they gave their final consent.\n\nFearing she would be denied her wish if she eventually became incapacitated, Parker said she was forced to die sooner than she wanted to.\n\nAudrey Parker died on Nov. 1, 2018.\n\nIn this episode of the Global News podcast This is Why, we hear from recorded messages from Parker and host Niki Reitmayer speaks with\xa0Dying With Dignity Canada's CEO,\xa0Shanaaz Gokool.\n\nIf you enjoy the\xa0This is Why\xa0podcast, please take a minute to rate it on\xa0Apple Podcasts\xa0or\xa0Google Podcasts, tell us what you think and please tell a friend about the show.\n\nTwitter:\xa0@thisiswhy\n\nEmail:\xa0thisiswhy@curiouscast.ca
