Medical Aid in Dying in NY

  • Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Saratoga Springs 624 North Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 USA (map)

Please join us for a presentation (in person or online) about Medical Aid in Dying for New York, by David Pratt, M,D., Saratoga County, former Schenectady County Commissioner of Public Health Services. Dr. Pratt has said,

I had a patient who suffered so much at the end of his life that he took his own life with a museum-quality Remington shotgun. As a physician, I would have loved to give my patients the gift of peace at the end of their lives. Nobody should ever have to end their lives violently to ease their suffering. Now my goal is for New York to make medical aid in dying an open, accessible, and legitimate option for terminally ill New Yorkers who want that option to relieve their suffering.

Sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Saratoga Springs and the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County.
