@theWesleyJSmith We don’t agree about MCF, but you might be interested in my research on VSED advance directive implementation. It’s referenced in the NYT article.

I take no leave of you, 2025. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased.

This is the best early Christmas gift. My heart is so full!

Thank you, Governor Hochul, for listening to us. This is the best holiday present I could have asked for!

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

I’ve met with families, doctors, and advocates. I’ve reflected on my own loss. And I believe New Yorkers deserve the option to face the end of life with dignity and comfort, with strong safeguards in place.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read why:

@ThaddeusPope What do you think about the video requirement? We still do not have best practices for video taping ADs. Is her point to prevent undue influence? If so, there are better ways.

@ThaddeusPope This is going to the top of my Christmas wishlist!
