In front of more than 150 people, some of whom held signs with messages such as “Not Dead Yet” and “No More Killing Innocents,” the panel gathered to take questions from the editor, Journal News/ Engagement Manager Gary Stern

The bill was introduced in February by Assemblywoman Amy Pauline (D-Scarsdale) and co-sponsored by Assemblywoman Sandy Galiff (D-Ossining) and Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski (D-New City). . Introduced along with the Senate bill by Sen. John Bonasak (R-Middletown).

After remission, the cancer returned and her sister was unresponsive to treatment. Her sister, who was in the hospital, started voluntarily withdrawing food and medicine, which eventually led to her death.

In Montana, the state Supreme Court made it legal.
