In The FREEPRESS article linked below, Madeline Kearns, a reporter who has previously covered assisted suicide and euthanasia legislation, provides a compelling introduction to  New York’s challenging situation, and Dovie Eisner. Presently in hospital fighting for his life, the 34-year-old New Yorker who initially urged the New York Senate to reject S 138, now calls upon Governor Hochul to veto what many are calling the worst law of its kind.

In her preface, Kearns writes:

“In my reporting on the subject, I have spoken to people with devastating diagnoses who long for greater agency at the end of life. I have also spoken to others with severe medical conditions who fear a world in which euthanasia is seen as a treatment option by doctors. But my thinking about this topic has been profoundly shaped by one person in particular: my friend Dovie, a 34-year-old New Yorker who lives with a life-altering, and sometimes life-threatening, condition called nemaline myopathy.”

In case you missed it, Dovie’s article below is a must-read reflection.
