US EditionState Assembly passes legal medically assisted death bill
- Nevada Assembly passed the Death With Dignity bill AB346 on a 23-19 vote in 2025, allowing physician-assisted suicide under specified conditions and sending it to the state Senate.
- The bill follows five previous attempts and gained momentum after Assemblymember Joe Dalia, motivated by his father’s slow death from end-stage COPD, introduced it to address painful end-of-life situations.
- AB346 mirrors existing laws in 11 states, garnered bipartisan support including three Republicans, and is co-sponsored by Republican Danielle Gallant despite her earlier opposition in 2023.
- Opposition from major Nevada religious leaders, who published ads praising Governor Joe Lombardo’s stated veto intentions and argued that assisted suicide devalues human life, creates uncertainty over the bill’s final approval.
- If AB346 passes the Senate despite expected gubernatorial resistance, it would establish physician-assisted death in Nevada, reflecting shifting bipartisan attitudes and ongoing debate about personal autonomy at life’s end.

Ouch. Eek. No, no, no. I’ve heard from so many readers who feel the same way — but, even though…
Albany debates doctors & dying: The Senate must pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act
When my dad, Brian Moffett, retired, he had a plan — he always had a plan. A second act of life filled with travel, projects, and long conversations with old friends. But life had a different plan. Shortly after retiring, my dad began to stumble, slur his words, lose the steady strength that had defined him for decades. Eventually, the words no family ever wants to hear arrived: ALS. A death sentence. Not a quick one. A slow, suffocating one. Fr…
