Faced with a terminal diagnosis, Pennsylvania residents deserve the full range of options for care at the end of life, including medical aid in dying. Medical aid in dying allows terminally ill adults to get a prescription they can take to end their life peacefully.

The Pennsylvania Senate introduced SB405, the End of Life Option Act, on March 11, 2021.
