In January, 2023 Representatives Ajello, Tanzi, Knight, Finkelman, Dawson, Craven, McEntee, Donovan, Speakman, and Handy introduced the Lila Manfield Sapinsley Compassionate Care Act (H2510/S126). If passed, this would allow residents of Rhode Island to access medical aid in dying.

SIGN OUR PETITION to say that it’s time to pass the Lila Manfield Sapinsley Compassionate Care Act and expand the right to Death with Dignity to those who live in Rhode Island.

Death with Dignity laws have been proven effective at improving healthcare quality at the end of life, regardless of whether or not an individual chooses to hasten their death.
