Abstract

Death With Dignity laws have legalized physicians assisting terminal patients, namely those with <6 months to live, with prescription medications to hasten their deaths. Despite being on the forefront of ethical end-of-life care initiatives, New York State continues to ban Death With Dignity legislation. This article analyzes the history and arguments against the proposed New York Medical Aid in Dying law. © 2018, William S. Hein & Co., Inc. All rights reserved.
