Delaware legislature passes Medical-Aid-in-Dying law 
CBS WBOC, DOver, DE; by Sean Curtis; 6/25/24 
The Delaware State Senate is sending House Bill 140, or the End-of-Life Options Law, to Governor John Carney’s desk after passing it Tuesday [6/25/24]. ... Medical aid in dying would only be available to adult Delawareans diagnosed with an incurable disease or illness who have been given a prognosis of six months or less to live. The prognosis must come from at least two medical professionals, according to lawmakers. Advanced age, disability, mental illness, or chronic health conditions would not qualify a person, under the law. Those seeking medical aid in dying under HB 140 would need to demonstrate an ability to understand and grasp the consequences of their decision, as determined by a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist. ... It will now head to the Governor’s Office for Carney’s signature before becoming law, unless Carney chooses to veto the legislation.
