I am so glad that terminally ill people in Illinois will now have the option of medical aid in dying thanks to Governor Pritzker and the Illinois legislature doing the right thing for the people of their state.
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker today signed the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act (SB 1950) into law, granting the wishes of passionate advocates past and present who have tirelessly pleaded for the option of medical aid in dying for many years. The legislation, also known as “Deb’s Law,” allows eligible adults with a terminal illness and a six-month or less prognosis the option to request a prescription from their doctor they can self-ingest to die on their own terms
Despite this decision, access to medical aid in dying remains a critically important option for all terminally ill people who wish to receive healthcare in the state of New Jersey,
