New York to Legalize Medically Assisted Suicide
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is set to legalize medically assisted suicide for terminally ill patients, following an agreement with state legislative leaders. The bill, known as the New York Medical Aid in Dying Act, will allow terminally ill individuals with less than six months to live to request life-ending medication, after meeting strict requirements and a mandatory five-day waiting period. The legislation, which has faced opposition in the past, is expected to be signed into law next year.
