New York's New Assisted-Suicide Law Yields ~20 Prescriptions, No Official Data
If this is your mountain
- Ask your state legislators whether similar assisted-suicide legislation has been introduced or is under consideration where you live.
- Contact your church's pastoral care or hospice ministry to review how it counsels terminally ill members and their families.
- Request that any local hospital or hospice you rely on disclose its policy on medical aid in dying.
- Follow New York's required annual utilization report when released to see how the law is actually being used.
The answers are for members
Each of these has been researched: what the public record already answers, and for the rest, the exact question to put to your own district or council — worded so it has to be answered with a date and a recorded vote.
