Committee clears way for House vote on medical-aid-in-dying legislation
“A bill to create medically-prescribed end-of-life options for terminally ill patients is again up for discussion in the Delaware General Assembly.
The issue remains a raw, emotional topic after similar legislation was passed after a ten-year battle but was vetoed last year by former Governor John Carney.”

The Strength It Takes to Suffer
JAMA Internal Medicine“There comes a time when attempts to fix, change, or alter inevitable death poses great harm. Some clinicians think aggressive symptom management, more psychosocial support, or better spiritual care will avoid requests for hastened death. But some suffering is beyond palliation if not accompanied by fundamental respect, autonomy, and freedom of choice."

Assisted Dying: an idea whose time has come
The rights of the terminally ill to choose a better death need careful consideration
If people spent as much time thinking about how they might die as they do about, say, their retirement, many more nations would already have legalised assisted dying.
Too many people with terminal illnesses are condemned to a lingering painful #Death, denied of dignity, in a faceless hospital ward.
The only person denied a say is the one doing the dying.
