(OSV News) — The New York Senate has voted to legalize medically assisted suicide, a move that one Catholic bioethicist told OSV News marked “a dark day” for the state’s residents, and the act will now head to Democratic Gov. If Hochul vetoes it, the bill can still become law if a two-thirds majority of both houses votes to override her veto. Here one does not will to cause death; one’s inability to impede it is merely accepted.”Sixteen states are pushing for laws to legalize assisted suicide. In early June the Illinois legislative session ended without vote on assisted suicide, but the bill is expected to return. On May 20, Delaware became the 12th jurisdiction in the country to enact an assisted suicide law.
