Kathy Hochul has signed into law the measure known as “medical aid in dying," (MAID), making New York the 13th U.S. state to permit physicians to prescribe life-ending medication to terminally ill patients.

The legislation triggered intense opposition from Orthodox Jewish communities across the state, which had campaigned against it for nearly ten years. Religious leaders and organizations argued that the law undermines the sanctity of life and crosses fundamental moral boundaries.

Agudath Israel of America, which spearheaded opposition to the legislation, issued a statement expressing deep regret over the decision. The group emphasized its belief that human life is sacred, that every person is created in the divine image, and that each moment of life holds inherent value.
