Is medical assistance in dying part of palliative care?

Whatever one’s view on medical assistance in dying (MAID), an underlying question is whether it should be considered part of palliative care. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association takes the stance that MAID “definitionally fall(s) outside of the scope of palliative care.” 1 This is a historical perspective dating to Hippocratic injunctions against a fatal draft. But with the advent of euthanasia and assisted suicide as legal life-ending options in various jurisdictions, the insistence on separation between palliative care and MAID has been questioned.
