Status of Medical Aid in Dying

On March 17, 2025 HB 410 was introduced in the North Carolina Legislature. This bill, if passed, would direct the North Carolina Institute of Medicine to study the legalization of medical aid in dying in North Carolina.

Faced with a terminal diagnosis, people in your state deserve the full range end-of-life care options, including medical aid in dying. Medical aid in dying allows terminally ill adults to get a prescription they can take to end their life peacefully.
