Faced with a terminal diagnosis, New Yorkers deserve the full range of medically appropriate options for care at the end of life. New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Act (A.2694/S.3947) would authorize medical aid in dying for terminally ill adults with less than six months to live and found by two doctors to be mentally capable to make this medical decision. The law would give eligible patients the option to request a prescription for medication they can take to shorten a difficult, painful dying process.
The bill summary available on this page provides details on the proposal. For more information, contact Compassion & Choices New York Campaign Director Corinne Carey at [email protected].
