New York Governor Kathy Hochul is moving the Empire State toward legalizing medical-assisted suicide, rebranding it as “medical aid in dying.”
You don’t “aid” dying. Dying happens on its own. The state is approving of the intentional ending of human life.
In an op-ed published by the Times Union, Hochul made clear that she intends to sign the so-called Medical Aid in Dying Act, which would allow terminally ill patients with fewer than six months to live to receive drugs designed to “speed up the inevitable.”
Supporters describe the proposal as “compassionate.” Opponents describe it far more bluntly: state-sanctioned suicide.
In her op-ed, Hochul attempted to wrap the legislation in lofty language about America’s founding principles, claiming that “limited government and broad individual rights” somehow justify empowering doctors to help patients end their lives.
She framed the issue as one of “bodily autonomy,” placing assisted suicide alongside abortion, LGBTQ ideology, and other far-left priorities New York Democrats have aggressively pushed for years.
For the modern Left, “choice” is the ultimate moral trump card, even when that choice involves ending a human life.
