Democratic Gov. John Carney says he is "fundamentally and morally opposed" to doctor-assisted suicide.

The bill would allow an adult resident of Delaware who is diagnosed with a terminal illness and expected to die within six months to request lethal prescription drugs from a doctor or an advanced-practice registered nurse.

Democratic lawmakers blasted Carney ’s decision, accusing him of putting his personal feelings ahead of the will of voters.
