New York is preparing to cross a historic and deeply contested threshold. Governor Kathy Hochul is set to sign legislation allowing medically assisted death for terminally ill adults with six months or less to live, under strict medical and legal safeguards. Supporters frame the bill as an expansion of dignity, autonomy, and relief from suffering at the end of life; critics warn it raises profound ethical, moral, and disability-rights concerns. As the state joins a small but growing number of jurisdictions with similar laws, the decision forces a difficult national conversation about where medicine, choice, and the limits of care intersect.
