Not the Way to Die

The State Legislature returns to Albany this week for two final months of the 2016 Session. We urge lawmakers to defeat legislation that would legalize doctor-assisted suicide. Proponents of assisted suicide have targeted our state and hope to have lawmakers voting on this before the end of June.

We urge you to send a message to your elected representatives now to let them know that directly causing death is not an acceptable answer to terminal illness, aging or disability.
