On Thursday, March 4, Massachusetts medical aid-in-dying advocate and storyteller Lee Marshall—a psychotherapist and retired RN living with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer—appeared on WJOP 96.3 FM Newburyport’s “The Morning Show.” Watch and share the video interview.
If passed, the legislation would give mentally capable, terminally ill Massachusetts residents the option to obtain a doctor’s prescription for medication they could decide to take to peacefully end their suffering if it becomes unbearable.
Faced with a terminal diagnosis, Massachusetts residents deserve the full range of options for care at the end of life, including medical aid in dying. Medical aid in dying allows terminally ill adults to get a prescription they can take to end their life peacefully.
