Maura Healey Voices Support For Physician-Assisted Suicide

Maura Healey Voices Support For Physician-Assisted Suicide

After the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that there is no right to physician-assisted suicide in the Massachusetts Constitution this week, governor-elect Maura Healey expressed her support for legalizing the practice.

Healey is the current attorney general of Massachusetts. The attorney general's office served as the defendant in the Kligler v. Healey case, arguing that nothing in the state constitution grants a right to physician-assisted suicide in the state.
