Don’t push people with disabilities like me to give up their lives by legalizing doctor-assisted suicide

New York's proposed Medical Aid in Dying Act threatens to undo this presumption in favor of lifesaving, especially for people with disabilities like me.

The bill requires two doctors to sign off on a request for lethal drugs by a patient of sound mind with six months or fewer to live, with a diagnosed terminal illness.

The way the bill is drafted is prone to abuse, lacking necessary safeguards to prevent nonconsensual physician-assisted suicide.

Failing that bill, Gov. Kathy Hochochoch must veto it.
