Freedom + Bodily Autonomy at Life's End

Header and Body

A wide-ranging, open, and substantive discussion about passing legislation that would allow terminally ill New Yorkers the freedom to choose to legally end their suffering on their own terms. Advocates, family members, healthcare providers, faith leaders, and patients will share their personal stories about how the absence of this compassionate end-of-life option has impacted them, as well as how the Medical Aid in Dying Act would work, and the protections against abuse that it affords.
