Medical aid in dying allows a terminally ill, mentally capable adult to voluntarily request and receive prescription medication from a healthcare provider that they can self-administer to die peacefully, on their own terms.
Advanced age, disability, and chronic health conditions alone are not qualifying factors; having a terminal illness and a prognosis of six months or less is an essential eligibility factor in all U.S. medical aid-in-dying laws.
We work to expand and protect all end-of-life healthcare options —including medical aid in dying, voluntary stopping of eating and drinking, hospice, palliative care, and offer tools for advance care and dementia planning.
Our advocacy ensures patients remain the decision-makers at life’s end and that these rights are protected nationwide
