Medical Aid In Dying up for Gov Carney’s signature 🙏

“End-of-life options can provide dignity, independence and choice to Delawareans facing the gravest health challenges.

If the governor is unable to sign the bill — which we believe he should — he should let allow it to become law without his signatue.”

Delaware #NewsJournal #EditorialBoard supports medical-aid-in-dying.

Gov. #Carney must sign legislation allowing it

“Last week, after an emotionally charged debate, the #Delaware state Senate, in an 11-10 vote, passed a bill that would give #TerminallyIll Delawareans aid-in-dying options.

House Bill 140 — the Ron Silverio/Heather Block End of Life Options Law — allows “mentally capable, terminally ill” adults who have received a “prognosis of six months or less to live” to request and obtain self-ingested medication to end their lives peacefully.“

Delaware deserves aid-in-dying. Gov. Carney must sign legislation allowing it | Our view

Gov. John Carney should sign — or allow to pass without his signature — legislation that would prove aid-in-dying options to Delawareans.
