2 days before he was scheduled to die, John Shields roused in his hospice bed with an unusual idea. He wanted to organize an Irish wake for himself. It would be old-fashioned, except for one notable detail — he’d be there. John intended to die swiftly and peacefully by lethal injection, administered by his doctor. Last June, the #Canadian government legalized what it termed “medical assistance in dying” for competent adult patients who are near death and suffering intolerably from irremediable illnesses. When his doctor told him he qualified, John felt the first hope since he’d learned that he had a rare and incurable disease called #amyloidosis. Having control over the terms of his death made him feel empowered over the disease. He also felt like a pioneer. On March 23, the last night of John’s life, he held a party in the hospice solarium with @swisschaletca takeout for all. A heavy atmosphere hung over the small room before he arrived. But when 2 nurses wheeled him into the solarium, the room’s heaviness lifted. “You think I’m only going to have one portion?” he said when presented with his plate of chicken.
