Since Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) was legalized in Canada in 2016, the process has relied not only on the doctors and practitioners who help carry out people's right to die, but a group of people you may not have heard of: volunteer witnesses. Two independent witnesses — who are not involved in the care of the applicant, nor stand to benefit from their death — must sign and date every application for MAiD. Three volunteer witnesses reflect on the process, as a bill that would amend their role winds its way through legislature.
