A federal court order currently protects several Illinois physicians and religious health care organizations from the state's assisted suicide law, which took effect on September 12 and includes mandates such as requiring doctors to inform patients about assisted suicide and refer them to providers if they refuse to participate. The Thomas More Society has filed an amended complaint to extend these protections to additional religious health care associations and professionals who object to the law on conscience grounds, highlighting concerns about the law's requirements for falsified death certificates and restrictions on Catholic hospitals disciplining staff who promote assisted suicide.
