At 80, children's author Robert Munsch has taken a wrenching step: he has been approved for medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada, but has made clear he wants to pick his own moment — when he can still ask for it.
Munsch, beloved for classics such as Love You Forever, The Paper Bag Princess and Mortimer, has lived with dementia and Parkinson's disease, and says the illnesses have eroded his ability to drive, write, even ride a bicycle.
