End of Life Options Act

The End of Life Options Act is legislation that allows terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request and receive a prescription for medications to voluntarily end their life. It establishes strict eligibility criteria and procedural safeguards to ensure informed, voluntary choices. The act aims to provide compassionate options for those facing unbearable suffering, while safeguarding against abuse or coercion. It does not force anyone to take the medication, and patients can change their mind at any time. This law reflects respect for individual autonomy and the right to make personal end-of-life decisions.
