"End of Life Options: Dignity, Choice and Comfort ," at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City
Sunday, July 11, 2021, 10:00am |
In the 2021 legislative session, New Mexico lawmakers passed a death with dignity bill called the End-of-Life Options Act (HB47). Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the bill into law April 8, 2021, and it took effect on June 18, 2021. The End-of-Life Options Act allows terminally ill patients to request aid in dying in certain clearly defined situations.
Nancy Cliff, UUFSC member, will look at all the various options of this new law and how it will affect New Mexicans. Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.
Masks are encouraged. If you are unvaccinated, for the protection of others please practice social distancing and wear a mask except when eating or drinking.
