Delaware’s House of Representatives narrowly passed House Bill 140, which would allow mentally capable, terminally ill adults to choose medical aid in dying. The bill passed 21-17 and includes safeguards, such as requiring approval from two physicians. Supporters argue it gives patients control over their final moments, while opponents believe the protections are insufficient and oppose it on moral grounds. The bill now moves to the Senate, and Governor Matt Meyer has stated he will sign it if it reaches his desk.
