Letter: Retired nurses support passages of Massachusetts Death with Dignity bill
Telegram & Gazette

The Death with Dignity bill is a compassionate option of a legally prescribed patient-administered medication for those who are terminally ill, mentally capable of making their own healthcare decisions and facing severe pain and suffering.
Nine states, including Maine, Vermont, New Jersey plus Washington, D.C., have passed similar bills. Seventy percent of Massachusetts citizens support the bill according to a Boston Globe/Suffolk University 2020 Poll. The Globe editorial on Dec. 6 called for passage of this bill.

As the former executive director of the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants and as a Latina entrepreneur from Puerto Rico, I have worked closely with multicultural communities across the state listening to their unique needs for years. It’s even more critical we listen closely during this crisis.
