Medical Aid in Dying provides an option for a peaceful and humane death to avoid suffering in end-of-life situations. Following a procedure with numerous safeguards, a physician can write a prescription for a life-ending medication that an individual can take. Usually this is done at home. First available in Oregon, it is now legal in ten states, including New Jersey, Vermont, and Maine. While only a modest number of people actually take the medicine, many more benefit from knowing that it can be available.
The main speaker will be Corinne Carey, Senior New York Campaign Director for Compassion & Choices. Come to find out what the bill would do and what it will take to make New York the next state to authorize this compassionate end-of-life option. Bring a friend and spread the word.
The meeting is free and open to the public.
