Massachusetts Aid in Dying Bill

PROPOSED CHAPTER 201G

Section 1. For the purposes of this chapter, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise:

“Adult”, an individual who is 18 years of age or older.

“Aid in Dying”, the medical practice of a physician prescribing lawful medication to a qualified patient, which the patient may choose to self-administer to bring about a peaceful death.

[The above paragraph states that a patient "may choose to self-administer" medication "to bring about a peaceful death."  The paragraph does not, however, "require" that a patient self-administer medication to bring about his or her peaceful death.  

Deaths may also not be peaceful due to a patient's unwillingness to consume and/or be injected with a lethal dose meant to kill him or her.]
