Today, with very little notice, no public testimony, no public expert testimony, and almost no discussion in committee, the New York Assembly’s Health Committee voted 14-11 to report out an assisted suicide bill, A.10059, euphemistically entitled “Medical Aid in Dying Act”.
The bill was sent on the the Assembly’s Codes Committee. Please email every member of that committee. It doesn’t matter where you live. If this bill passes, it will be viewed by the proponents of assisted suicide as another domino’s falling, a big domino like California. Your voice can make the difference.
