纽约州长Kathy Hoghul(Kathy Hochul)正在权衡一项医疗救助法案, 该法案允许临终病人在医疗援助下结束生命, New York Governor Kathy Hochul is weighing a medical aid-in-dying bill that would allow terminally ill patients to end their lives with medical assistance, following a 56% public support rate in a recent poll. 该立法由州立法机构通过,要求进行两次医生评价和心理健康评估,提倡者以病人的自主和同情心为根据。 The legislation, passed by the state legislature, requires two physician evaluations and mental health assessments, with advocates citing patient autonomy and compassion. 虽然包括医疗专业人士和倡导团体在内的支持者敦促她在年底前签署该协议，但纽约州天主教会议以道德问题为由反对。 While supporters, including medical professionals and advocacy groups, urge her to sign it by year’s end, the New York State Catholic Conference opposes it, citing ethical concerns. 霍赫尔尚未做出公开决定，这使得该法案的命运不确定。 Hochul has not made a public decision, leaving the bill’s fate uncertain.
