End-of-Life Option Act

The End-of-Life Option Act is a law that allows terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request and receive medication to intentionally end their life. This law provides a legal and regulated process to ensure the patient's decision is voluntary, well-informed, and made with medical guidance. It is designed to respect personal autonomy and alleviate unbearable suffering at the end of life while safeguarding against abuse through specific eligibility and procedural requirements.
