New York Governor Hochul weighs signing a bill allowing terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical aid, amid public support and ethical debate.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is weighing a medical aid-in-dying bill that would allow terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical assistance, following a 56% public support rate in a recent poll.
The legislation, passed by the state legislature, requires two physician evaluations and mental health assessments, with advocates citing patient autonomy and compassion.
While supporters, including medical professionals and advocacy groups, urge her to sign it by year’s end, the New York State Catholic Conference opposes it, citing ethical concerns.
Hochul has not made a public decision, leaving the bill’s fate uncertain.
