Who has written a good history of the medical assistance in dying as a medical-legal phenomenon?

It’s an ethnography of MAID in VT but o believe she covers a good amount of that in US at least. Scripting Death by Mara Buchbinder

Thank you!

Checked the comments to see if someone had suggested this! Seconding this recommendation.

Watching this, because it seems to be a “how long is a piece of string” question because there are great accounts framed from different perspectives at different points in time relative to different proposals for legal frameworks. Something more overarching and definitive would be useful

Check out The Life Worth Living by Joel M Reynolds @joelmreynolds.bsky.social

It’s a phenomenological account of disability and pain, but an important aspect of the discussion about “quality of life” and disability, which is a core feature of MAiD.

In addition to Mara Buchbinder’s book, I would recommend work by both Ari Gandsman and Anthony Stavrianakis.
