NH House passes medical aid in dying: Debate isn't over yet
Portsmouth Herald, by Margie Cullen; 3/22/24
The End of Life Options Act, which would allow terminally ill people in New Hampshire to access medical aid in dying, narrowly passed in the House of Representatives Thursday. While versions of this bill have been brought to the legislature in past years, this is the first time it has passed the House. It comes after it gained its first victory in the House Judiciary Committee, where it was recommended to pass 13-7 for the first time. In the House Thursday, it passed 179-176.
