Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul is going to sign the Medically Assisted Suicide Bill. The governor says only adults will be able to take the suicide medicine, they have to only have six months to live and the person committing suicide will have to take the medicine themselves.
Republican Assemblyman Joe Sempolinski says it’s “a sad day for New York State,” and he says this law will negatively affect the developmentally disabled.
