~   PART 2   ~

John Virdone, Esq.  joined New York Against Assisted Suicide together with other leaders of organizations across the U.S.A and Canada for a press release outside of the NYC Legislative Building on Broadway, expressing their concerns about the AS/Euthanasia agenda saying the Bill is a bad policy.

On May 3, the hearing began @ 11am and continued to about 9:30pm. 

The morning portion of the hearing had all of the four legislators listed below:

Standing Committee on Health, 5-03-2018

ASSEMBLY MEMBERS PRESENT:

ASSEMBLY MEMBER RICHARD GOTTFRIED -- Chair, Assembly Standing Committee on Health

ASSEMBLY MEMBER AMY PAULIN

ASSEMBLY MEMBER HARVEY EPSTEIN

ASSEMBLY MEMBER RODNEYSE BICHOTTE

ASSEMBLY MEMBER LINDA ROSENTHAL

Assembly Member Bichotte asked testifiers showing her concern for the people of her community. She appeared not to be satisfied with the answers nor explanations to her questions. (please find the transcript in the link of the entire May 3rd hearing here: May 3, 2018 NYC AS/Euthanasia Hearing

Once afternoon arrived, there were only two legislators present for the entire remaining of the day; Assembly Member Gottfried & Assembly Member Paulin, sponsor of the bill. The room was heavily packed until the later hours. Was there a good representation of legislators present to hear testimonies and will to ask questions? The answer is no.

The hearing ended with the last testifier, who was in favor of the Bill, urging NY State to pass the Bill by end of the month, May 2018. The Bill did not come up for a vote by the end of the legislative session, June 2018.

Those who are pushing for the AS/Euthanasia agenda say they will return in 2019.
