New York Governor Hochul must decide by year’s end whether to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act, allowing terminally ill patients to request lethal medication under strict safeguards.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul must decide by year’s end whether to sign or veto the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which would allow terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to request lethal medication under strict safeguards.
Advocates, including patients with cancer and ALS, urge her to act, citing dignity, control, and the inability of many to relocate to states where such laws exist.
Hochul says she separates personal beliefs from duty, while religious leaders oppose the measure, advocating for palliative care.
The bill’s sponsor warns delays will prolong unnecessary suffering.
