When journalist Rob Cribb began reporting on medical assistance in dying (MAID), he couldn’t have imagined being asked to bear witness to someone's final moments alive.
His work brought him close to Michael. And on the day Michael was to receive MAID, he invited Rob to join a celebration of his life, and to be there as he took his final breath.
Rob Cribb unpacks this experience in the newest episode of The Ultimate Choice podcast.

The Ultimate Choice Podcast is a groundbreaking docuseries from TVO Today, with the Toronto Star and the Investigative Journalism Bureau. The series follows the journey of Michael and his wife, Ann. Michael, housebound by pain and incurable disease, sees his choice for a medically assisted death (MAID) as a powerful solution to his suffering. The series explores Michael's motivations and how his decision affects his family, friends, and longtime doctor. Hosted by investigative reporter Rob Cribb, the podcast also challenges Rob to come to terms with his own family history as he dives into this highly charged story. Both a portrait of a family's autonomy and a hard-hitting exposé, The Ultimate Choice reveals the political and ethical stakes behind Canada's debate to expand MAID like never before.
