Status of Medical Aid-in-Dying Legislation

Faced with a terminal diagnosis, Georgia residents deserve the full range of end-of-life care options, including medical aid in dying. Medical aid in dying allows terminally ill adults to get a prescription they can take to end their life peacefully.

In the Courts
