Send a Message of Thanks to Deb Robertson
Thanks to Deb’s law, qualified terminally ill Illinois adults with a prognosis of six month or less now have the option to voluntarily request and receive prescription medication from their physician that they can self-administer to die peacefully on their own terms. The law is named for Deb Robertson, a longtime Lombard resident, who is facing a terminal illness. Deb has courageously devoted her time – precious remaining time – to become the lead spokesperson in favor of medical aid in dying in Illinois. The passage of this law is a credit to Deb’s eloquence, her empathy for those who disagree with her and her commitment to providing this option for all who follow her.
