Pass a Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) Law in Arizona

Approximately 72 million Americans in ten states have the right to medical aid in dying if they become terminally ill, but not in Arizona.

People should have access to a full range of options when deciding how to manage the end of their life. We have proposed legislation modeled after time-tested laws already in effect in Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, New Mexico, New Jersey, Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia (Montana also has it by court decision).

This proposed legislation, MAID (Medical Aid in Dying), will make it possible for terminally ill Arizona residents to legally obtain medications that eliminate undue and prolonged suffering at the end of life. Utilizing this end of life option will be straightforward and easy to understand. Yet it will include many legal, medical and ethical safeguards to prevent abuse or misuse.

Sign our petition if you agree that people deserve options so they may eliminate undue and prolonged suffering at the end of their life.
