MAiD AND RIGHT-TO-DIE ADVOCACY
Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) is legal in some states and countries, giving terminally ill adults the option to request medication to peacefully end their life. While not accessible everywhere, advocacy is growing — and education is key.
This topic requires care, clarity, and compassion.
We encourage you to explore:
- Whether MAiD is legal in your state or region
- Who qualifies, and what the process involves
- Emotional, spiritual, and ethical considerations
- Support networks for individuals and loved ones navigating this choice
You don’t have to agree with it to learn about it — and you don’t have to go through it alone if it becomes part of your story.

Ohio End of Life Options is a 501(c)(3), non-profit that was founded in 2016. This organization is non-partisan and non-sectarian. Ohio End of Life Options raises awareness and provides fact-based education about Medical Aid in Dying laws. It aims to have legislation enacted in Ohio that is modeled after Death with Dignity Laws in Oregon, Washington, Vermont, California, Colorado, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine, Washington D.C., and New Mexico.
Ohio End of Life Options also raises awareness about palliative and hospice care and believes the terminally ill should have access to all health care options at the end of life. Additionally, Ohioans are encouraged to explore end-of-life wishes, talk to those who need to understand them, and then document those plans.
WANT TO PARTNER WITH SCRIPTED AND BE AN ALLY?
We are seeking advocates, clinicians, and educators who work in states where MAiD is legal — or who support efforts to expand safe, compassionate access.
If you provide direct support, legislative advocacy, or clear public education about medical aid in dying, we’d love to feature your work.
