The Medical Aid in Dying bill would allow a terminally ill, mentally capable adult with a prognosis of six months or less to live, the option to request, obtain and take medication — should they choose —  to die peacefully in their sleep if their suffering becomes unbearable.

We are proud to be a part of the Arizona End-of-Life Options Coalition working to authorize medical aid in dying! We invite you to check out our coalition partners.
