'Death with dignity' advocates persist in Utah despite heavy opposition

Jan 22, 2020 Utah

On January 22, 2020, Utah Rep. Jen Daily-Provost was quoted in the Daily Herald about her support for medical aid-in-dying legislation, "Dailey-Provost said the proposal reflects the goal of a society that respects life and the hope that everyone should have the most fulfilling and meaningful life possible. That includes being able to 'preserve the best possible end of life they can.'"

In October 2019, Daily-Provost was also quoted in Utah Business saying, "I've seen a majority of Utahns do approve of a very measured step toward policy like this, but by and large the legislature does not...If we don't run this bill, if we don't have these conversations, we're never going to get there."
