Delaware Gov Signs Physician-Assisted Suicide Bill

Delaware Public Media reports:

After over a decade’s worth of effort and contentious battles within the state legislature, Gov. Matt Meyer signs legislation to legalize medical aid in dying, making Delaware the 12th jurisdiction to do so.

The bill allows terminally ill adults with no more than a six-month death prognosis to explore end-of-life options, commonly referred to as physician-assisted suicide.

Former State Rep. Paul Baumbach championed the legislation right up until his retirement last year, when he got the bill through the House and Senate for the first time, only to see it vetoed by former Gov. John Carney.

Delaware Governor Matt Meyer tragically signed the state’s assisted suicide bill into law after ten years of public opposition. This new law puts lives at risk because assisted suicide laws offer no compassion, no hope, and no help for vulnerable members of our society. pic.twitter.com/5Z1MU5ZSvx
