Despite some encouraging signs a few weeks ago, the Lila Manfield Sapinsly Compassionate Care Act (H7760/S2051), which would establish a process by which a terminally ill patient may choose Medical Aid In Dying (MAID) using medication prescribed by a physician, is far from certain to pass. This is a shame, because advocates, after something like 14 years of advocacy before the General Assembly, felt that they had finally made their case to a majority of lawmakers.
