On October 5, 2015, California became the fifth state in the nation to allow physicians to prescribe terminally ill patients medication to end their lives. A.B.X2-15, the “End of Life Option Act,” permits terminally ill adult patients with capacity to make medical decisions to be prescribed an aid-in-dying medication if certain conditions are met. (A.B.X2-15, Stats. 2015, ch.1; Health & Safety Code §§443 et seq.) This document discusses the requirements of the End of Life Option Act.
