Legislation has once again been filed to support Medical Aid in Dying. This bill would allow a terminally ill mentally competent adult to get a prescription from their doctor that would allow them to take a medication at the end of their life to ensure a peaceful dearth. This bill contains many safe guards to ensure that only people with a prognosis of less than six months as agreed upon by two doctors can obtain these medications, and that no one is coerced into using this option against their will.

This bill is called The End of Life Options act (H 2505 and S 1486) and a hearing were held at the State House on April 2nd. This is much earlier than in previous sessions and is considered a very hopeful sign. The committee now has until June 1st to vote for or against the bill for or to extend it. Please use this link to find your legislator if you would like to contact them in support of this bill.

There will be a lobby day on Tuesday June 3rd at the state house sponsored by Compassion & Choices, Death with Dignity, and several other organizations. There are speeches by sponsors then visits to our senators and House representatives. Please use this link for more information.
