For those seeking a frank discussion of assisted dying, I highly recommend Steven Levitt’s interview of Dr. Ellen Wiebe, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of British Columbia. The podcast is Levitt’s People I (Mostly) Admire and the episode is titled “Helping People Die?” (Episode 155, released April 11, 2025. Wiebe provides medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada, where it has been legal since 2016. The conversation explores the ethical, practical, and emotional dimensions of assisted dying, focusing on Wiebe’s experiences helping seriously ill patients end their lives. They discuss questions like whether death is a human right, the safeguards in Canada’s MAID system, and the challenges of balancing patient autonomy with medical ethics.
