Assemblymember & inpatient oncology nurse Karines Reyes made a powerful case for #MedicalAidInDying by laying out the extent of suffering some terminally ill people endure during the 4/29 floor debate.
S138 mitigates this.

Yet another conversation on #MedicalAidInDying that you said you were looking for, @leaderasc.bsky.social. ICYMI, you can get watch the recording later. I'm sure you'll want to watch since you seem not to be aware that convos like these have been going on for decades.
NYers can check to see if their State Senator is equivocal on autonomy by seeing if the co-sponsored the #MedicalAidInDyingAct here: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...
@leaderasc.bsky.social & other NY Dems are currently denying bodily & medical autonomy to NYers like Cassandra Johnston. Now is not the time to be arbitrary when it comes to securing our rights.
Pass the #MedicalAidInDying Act in 2025.

Glad Gov. Hochul recognizes that our "fundamental rights are under attack" & the importance of states securing them.
🤞she & NY Dems won't arbitrarily stop at abortion rights, but ultimately pass the #MedicalAidInDying Act. That's a #Project2025 target, too. Should autonomy end at pregnancy in NY?
When will NY make #MedicalAidInDying accessible? And when will you conference the bill you claim you want a conversation about?
@leaderasc.bsky.social: "there has not been a lot of conversation about dying".

Brian Moffett had ALS, & died in agony b/c NY doesn't the autonomy Barbara Goodfriend had. NY Dems' words about autonomy ring hollow when they arbitrarily support it.
