Physician-Assisted Suicide

Over the past two years, the issue of physician-assisted suicide has been of great debate across the nation. Physician-assisted suicide is when someone voluntarily ends their life through a lethal drug with the assistance of a doctor.

However, it is currently illegal in 45 states, including Pennsylvania. Watch the PSA above and navigate this website to learn more about death with dignity in Pennsylvania and across the nation.
