A lawsuit challenges Delaware’s 2026 end-of-life law, alleging it discriminates against people with disabilities.
A federal lawsuit has been filed to block Delaware’s End-of-Life Options Act, set to take effect January 1, 2026, with opponents arguing it discriminates against people with disabilities by potentially allowing physician-assisted dying for non-terminal conditions.
The plaintiffs, including disability rights groups and individuals with chronic illnesses, claim the law violates the ADA, 14th Amendment rights, and federal disability protections by promoting death over care, risking coercion amid healthcare inequities.
They assert the law fails to ensure informed choices and could pressure vulnerable patients due to systemic access and affordability issues.
The lawsuit seeks to halt implementation, while the Meyer administration has declined to comment.
