Shaping Hope: From Individual Suffering to Collective Responsibility in Care
As Canada prepares to expand medical assistance in dying (MAiD) to include those suffering solely from mental illness, this final episode episode of the series explores some of the main themes and questions that have emerged over the first three conversations—questions about surrounding autonomy, vulnerability, and what it means to support a life worth living. This conversation explores the heart of community, belonging, and presence, challenging the transactional views of care and highlighting the transformative power of hope and compassion. Join us as we welcome back Dr. Agnes Thomas, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Toronto, to reflect on the themes of dignity, community, and radical hospitality at the center of these crucial discussions.
