Faced with a terminal diagnosis, Illinois residents deserve the full range of options for care at the end of life, including medical aid in dying.
Medical aid in dying gives terminally ill, mentally capable adults with a prognosis of six months or less to live the option to request and take a prescription to die peacefully in their sleep if their suffering becomes unbearable.
The Illinois End-of-Life Options Coalition is a partnership between Compassion & Choices, ACLU of Illinois and Final Options Illinois dedicated to authorizing medical aid in dying as an option for terminally ill people in Illinois.
