Canadian children’s author tells CBC about living with dementia

Munsch, 80, has been diagnosed with dementia as well as Parkinson’s. And he has previously struggled with a stroke, depression, alcoholism and lost two children (who were stillborn). This past fall, he came under scrutiny, including criticism from pro-life groups, for announcing he had applied for MAID (medical assistance in dying) shortly after it was legalized in 2016.
