It is time to pass New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Act (A2694 Paulin/S3947 Savino).
The state legislature has had four years to consider this bill, and has at least 50 co-sponsors. Governor Cuomo has publicly stated his support of medical aid-in-dying legislation. The bill would make New York the 10th state to adopt compassionate legislation expanding end-of-life options to allow a terminally ill, mentally capable adult with a prognosis of six months or less to live to request from their doctor a prescription for medication they can decide to self-ingest to die peacefully in their sleep…
…Passing the Medical Aid in Dying Act would give New Yorkers what the majority of us want: expanded end-of-life care options, allowing the dying person the sole authority to self-administer the medication when nothing else provides relief, and leaving this deeply personal decision to the dying person, their family, and their doctor.
