Ohioans with terminal illnesses have medical-aid-in-dying options in Vermont, Oregon

Thank you for running The Washington Post story about Vermonters opening their houses to the terminally ill traveling to use Vermont’s medical aid in dying (MAiD) law (“Homeowners open their houses to terminally ill people,” April 20). MAiD, in the ten states that allow it, affords competent adults suffering from a terminal illness the right to obtain a prescription they can use to end their lives peacefully on their own terms if they are within six months of death.
