Sponsors of a physician-assisted suicide bill in Illinois are trying to get a measure that would make it the 12th state to legalize medical aid in dying before the legislative session ends on Saturday.

Illinois House Majority Leader Robyn Gabel, a Democrat from Evanston, attached an amendment with the language of a stalled physician-assisted suicide bill into a food preparation sanitation bill, SB 1950, that the state Senate has already passed.
