A ‘death with dignity’ bill package introduced in the Michigan Senate last week would allow people with less than six months to live to request a prescription for life-ending medication.
  • Michigan Senate Democrats propose bills legalizing physician-assisted death for terminally ill patients
  • The concept, legalized in 10 states and Washington, D.C., remains controversial
  • Supporters say it gives terminally ill patients more autonomy. Critics argue it’s ‘not the compassionate answer’
