Our Introduction to Medical Aid in Dying state packets help explain the medical aid in dying process in jurisdictions where it is authorized*. Compassion & Choices updated the packets to be the most comprehensive resource for those wanting to understand or use medical aid-in-dying laws.

The medical aid-in-dying state packets include:

  • The most up-to-date information, such as eligibility requirements.
  • Steps for accessing medical aid in dying in each state including as a nonresident for Oregon and Vermont.
  • A guide for discussing medical aid in dying with clinicians.
  • An end-of-life care planning checklist.
  • A glossary of frequently used terms.
  • An end-of-life plan tracker to help you organize your preferences.
  • A state-specific request for medication form.

The packets can be found on our state pages and at CandC.org/tools.

*Please note that the Washington and Maine state information is created by outside organizations and can be found at endoflifewa.org and mainedeathwithdignity.org
