“The so-called Medical Aid in Dying Act (S.2445) would let New York doctors prescribe fatal chemicals to terminally ill patients for self-administration, providing that the patients are mentally competent.
“This legislation represents the slipperiest of slopes, and it must not be made law. Who can truly determine one’s mental competence at such a time?
