In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Arguments For And Against Illinois’ Right To Die Bill


Listen Later

Terminally ill residents with a prognosis of six months to live could get physician prescribed drugs to end their lives if Governor Pritzker signs a bill that passed the Illinois legislature Oct. 31. Advocates say it gives people suffering and near death a choice, but some disability rights activists are concerned it could pressure disabled people to end their lives.
