伊利诺伊州通过法律,允许临终病人在严格保障下自行服用致命药物。 Illinois passes law allowing terminally ill patients to self-administer lethal medication with strict safeguards.

伊利诺伊州通过了一项法律,允许有六个月或六个月以下预产期的临终病人居民获得治疗和平自主死亡的药物,使其成为第一个中西部州。 Illinois has passed a law allowing terminally ill residents with a prognosis of six months or less to obtain medication for a peaceful, self-administered death, making it the first Midwestern state to do so. 该法,即1950年参议院法案,要求有两名医生确认,多次要求等候时间,并证明有精神能力。 The law, known as Senate Bill 1950, requires two physician confirmations, multiple requests with waiting periods, and proof of mental competence. 它并不要求保健提供者的参与,除非受到州长的阻挠,否则将在大约六个月内生效。 It does not mandate participation by healthcare providers and will take effect in about six months unless blocked by the governor. 立法反映了国家扩大人生末期选择的趋势,尽管它面临医学和宗教团体的反对,并提出了对弱势群体的伦理问题和风险。 The legislation reflects a national trend toward expanded end-of-life choices, though it faces opposition from medical and religious groups citing ethical concerns and risks to vulnerable populations.
