MB Seminary hosted an online conversation on November 24, 2020 to discuss medical assistance in dying (MAiD). The conversation featured three faculty presentations followed by a panel discussion in response to questions submitted by online participants. The recordings are available below (please note that the first part of Doug Heidebrecht’s presentation was not recorded during the event, so a new recording was made with his original content).
