New York lawmakers approve bill that would allow medically assisted suicide for the terminally ill

  • New York lawmakers have approved a bill that would allow medically assisted suicide for the terminally ill, placing the state alongside eleven others and Washington D.C. in permitting the practice.
  • Advocates argue the bill limits unnecessary suffering for individuals in end-of-life situations, while critics, including disability rights groups, fear people could be pressured into the procedure.
  • The Democratic-led chamber passed the bill, formally known as "Medical Aid in Dying," 35-27, largely along party lines after a three-hour debate featuring personal stories from legislators.
