As both active and retired registered nurses, we are among the 70 percent of Massachusetts citizens — according to a recent poll by The Boston Globe and Suffolk University — who support legalizing the option of medical aid in dying for people who are terminally ill and mentally capable of making their own end-of-life health-care decisions. We support passing The End of Life Options Act (H.4782, S.2745) because we’ve cared for terminally ill patients for a cumulative total of nearly 200 years, and seen too many leave this world in severe pain and often prolonged, unrelieved suffering. Hospice and palliative care have come a long way in the past few decades, helping the majority of people with terminal cancer, heart disease and other illnesses to remain as comfortable as possible in their final stage of life.
