Death with Dignity Act

Michigan Democrats proposed a package of bills to legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill adults, allowing them to request medication to end their life with certain conditions and protections. The proposal would create a Death with Dignity Act and protect doctors and patients from liability. Michigan would join other states and countries in adopting similar laws.
