The so-called “Medical Aid in Dying Act” is supposed to make it possible for patients expected to die within six months to request a prescription for lethal drugs.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a similar assisted suicide law in December as well.
Assisted suicide fundamentally changes the doctor-patient relationship from healing to killing.
The Hippocratic Oath promises to “first, do no harm.” Prescribing lethal drugs violates that sacred trust. Doctors should heal — not kill.
Under New York’s law, medical professionals will help people end their lives or refer refer them to doctors who will. This violates the conscience rights of healthcare workers who entered medicine to save lives, not end them.
Studies show assisted suicide corrupts medical judgment. Doctors may spend less time exploring treatment options and pain management when death becomes a “medical option.”
Being pro-life means respecting innocent human life from conception until natural death. We do not eliminate suffering by eliminating people who are suffering. There is nothing “compassionate” about that.

Recent news stories allege tech companies like X, Apple, Google have profited from apps that let users digitally undress women and children without their consent.
A report from the Tech Transparency Project reveals that tech giants have hosted dozens of AI-powered “nudify” applications on their app stores, despite having policies that supposedly prohibit such content.
These apps use artificial intelligence to create deepfake nude images of real people, including minors. The apps have reportedly been downloaded more than 705 million times worldwide.
This technology represents a new form of sexual exploitation that lawmakers and parents are struggling to address. The apps essentially let anyone with a smartphone sexually victimize others. And despite repeated warnings from pro-family groups and others, tech companies have been slow to remove these applications.
Arkansas families need to understand this threat. Last year, Arkansas’ lawmakers passed Act 827 by Rep. Stephen Meeks (R — Greenbrier) and Sen. Clint Penzo (R — Springdale) to prohibit people from using artificial intelligence to create and distribute deepfake pornographic images depicting another individual without that individual’s consent. The law also lets the Arkansas Attorney General take legal action against the developers responsible for this kind of technology. It’s a good law that helps address this problem — but it’s possible Arkansas will need to do more as artificial intelligence continues to expand.
