The authorities of the state of new York will consider a bill allowing euthanasia

Legislators of the Assembly of the state of new York, next Monday will consider a proposal that should allow doctors to carry out the procedure of the voluntary killing of the terminally ill person. Of course, the right to such a procedure, they will receive only if the wish voiced by the patient himself.

First public hearing of the health Committee will hold the first of the week, the second round of discussions is scheduled for may 3. It is reported that in the current version, the bill provides for a rule that requires the consent of two doctors for conducting such procedures.

Similar bills have repeatedly appeared in the walls of the Assembly of the state of new York, but each time lawmakers have blocked their further progress. The society has divided into two camps on this issue. On the one hand, there are people who think that the only salvation for terminally ill patients, on the other, many fear abuse of the responsible entities.

In States such as Oregon, Vermont, Colorado, Washington and California such procedures have already been legalized. In several European countries also approved the right to euthanasia. Scientists say that in Belgium in recent years significantly increased the number of applications for voluntary withdrawal from life, with the help of doctors. This raises some concerns from the experts of the Ministry of health of Belgium, who studied the effect of euthanasia on the behavior of companies.
