Dr Kavorkian might have something to say about this.
13 11
Murad JacobKevorkian (May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011) was an American pathologist and euthanasia proponent. He publicly championed a terminal patient's right to die by physician-assisted suicide, embodied in his quote, "Dying is not a crime".[2] Kevorkian said that he assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He was convicted of murder in 1999 and was often portrayed in the media with the name of "Dr. Death".[3]
Kevorkian was tried four times for assisting suicides between 1994 and 1997, being acquitted the first three times and the fourth ending in a mistrial. In 1998, Kevorkian was arrested and tried for murder after broadcasting the voluntary euthanasia of a man named Thomas Youk who had Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS. He was convicted of second-degree murder and served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison sentence. He was released on parole on June 1, 2007, on condition he would not offer advice about, participate in, or be present at the act of any type of euthanasia to any other person, nor that he promote or talk about the procedure of assisted suicide.[4]

Hochul will sign controversial bill to legalize doctor-assisted suicide in New York

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday she’ll sign a controversial doctor-assisted suicide bill — capping a years-long battle over making New York a state that allows terminally ill people to take their own lives.
Hochul, in a Times Union op-ed, cast the decision to approve the Medical Aid in Dying Act as a civil rights issue that protects a deeply personal choice.
“The Medical Aid in Dying Act will afford terminally ill New Yorkers the right to spend their final days not under sterile hospital lights but with sunlight streaming through their bedroom window,” she wrote.
