SB 1076, An Act Concerning Aid in Dying for Terminally Ill Patients

The ACLU-CT SB 1076 because we believe all people should have the liberty to make personal, intimate decisions about their death when facing a terminal diagnosis.

Decisions about end-of-life care are deeply personal. Each terminally ill person should have the right to make their own decisions about how to spend their final days and how to face death. This right to individual autonomy when making end of life decisions includes the decision to seek physician-assisted aid in dying, as well as the decision to continue living. The ACLU-CT supports this bill, because we believe all people should have the liberty to make personal, intimate decisions about their death when facing a terminal diagnosis.
