“I know I’m going to die, what worries me is how I’m going to die,” the 68-year-old Low says in the video.


Dr. Donald Low passed away on September 18, 2013, seven months after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer wishes to express our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Low’s family.
Dr. Low was one of Canada’s leading microbiologists, best known for his pivotal role in helping Toronto respond to the SARS crisis.  Eight days before he died, Dr. Low participated in a video interview in which he talks candidly about his experience facing the end of his life, including his concerns about being able to die with dignity.  Please take a moment to watch (below).

"And in tribute to Don, please advocate for the legalization of assisted dying in Canada."
