New York’s cardinal has severely criticised a vote to allow assisted suicide across New York State, describing the proposed law as “a disaster waiting to happen”.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan said that the Medical Aid in Dying Bill would turn doctors from “healers into killers” and will put pressure on "the sick, elderly and the depressed to end their own lives".
The Bill is “contrary to everything we cherish” and “a terrible idea” the cardinal said after members of the New York State Assembly voted 81-67 in favour of the Bill.
