Medical Aid In Dying up for Gov Carney’s signature 🙏
“End-of-life options can provide dignity, independence and choice to Delawareans facing the gravest health challenges.
If the governor is unable to sign the bill — which we believe he should — he should let allow it to become law without his signatue.”

Delaware #NewsJournal #EditorialBoard supports medical-aid-in-dying.
Gov. #Carney must sign legislation allowing it
“Last week, after an emotionally charged debate, the #Delaware state Senate, in an 11-10 vote, passed a bill that would give #TerminallyIll Delawareans aid-in-dying options.
House Bill 140 — the Ron Silverio/Heather Block End of Life Options Law — allows “mentally capable, terminally ill” adults who have received a “prognosis of six months or less to live” to request and obtain self-ingested medication to end their lives peacefully.“

We ask the Government to give anyone with a terminal illness fast-track access to financial support. This would stop people worrying about money and it would help them to focus on spending time with their family. This only happens if you have 12 months or less which penalises those who live longer
I honor Ellen Gilland, who was gentle and kind.
She wanted to end her husband's pain and nightly cries.
She made a pact to ensure they'd go together,
But the gun felt too heavy, and she couldn't go through with it.
Though death is a path we must eventually tread
