Hochul Considers Signing Medical Aid in Dying Bill
TL;DR
Governor Kathy Hochul is expected to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act in New York, allowing terminally ill patients to request life-ending medication, after reaching a legislative compromise. The bill, supported by a majority of New Yorkers but opposed by religious groups, includes provisions such as a video request, waiting period, and mental health evaluation, though amendments may weaken some of Hochul's initial demands.
