MAID: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

In 2024, the Illinois legislature attempted to pass a bill legalizing physician-assisted suicide, or as proponents call it, “Medical Aid in Dying” (MAID), but it did not advance by the end of the session.

Vulnerable Illinoisans enjoyed a brief respite from this threat to human dignity and life itself, but sadly, the culture of death marches on. Within the first two weeks of the new year, proponents introduced the “End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act” (HB 1328/SB 9) for the 2025 legislative session.
