Chris Palmer, author of the new book Achieving a Good Death, and I discuss the different choices we have about how to exit our lives. 

Chris offers five "exit strategies," including: 

  • Withholding Life Saving Treatment
  • Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)
  • Palliative Sedation 
  • Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)
  • Switzerland

We discuss hospice care, palliative care and death doulas.
