纽约州州长Kathy Hochul必须在年底决定是否签署或否决《死亡医疗援助法案》,该法案允许6个月以下的临终病人在严格保障下要求致命药物。 New York Governor Kathy Hochul must decide by year’s end whether to sign or veto the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which would allow terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to request lethal medication under strict safeguards. 倡导者,包括癌症患者和ALS,敦促她以尊严、控制和许多人无法搬迁到有此类法律的州为借口,采取行动。 Advocates, including patients with cancer and ALS, urge her to act, citing dignity, control, and the inability of many to relocate to states where such laws exist. Hohul说,她将个人信仰与义务区分开来,而宗教领袖则反对这一措施,主张提供缓和治疗。 Hochul says she separates personal beliefs from duty, while religious leaders oppose the measure, advocating for palliative care. 该法案的发起人警告拖延会延长不必要的痛苦。 The bill’s sponsor warns delays will prolong unnecessary suffering.
