Delaware Passes Death With Dignity Law

Delaware has become the 12th U.S. state to legalize medical aid in dying. In this deeply personal episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts discuss the hard-won passage of House Bill 140 and the dignity it affords terminally ill patients. They examine the safeguards, ethical debates, and religious opposition to such laws—and why support remains strong despite decades of resistance. This is a story of autonomy, compassion, and the right to choose a peaceful end.The Friendly Atheist, “At long last, Delaware enacts ‘death with dignity’ law”By Hemant Mehta, May 29, 2025https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/at-long-last-delaware-enacts-deathThe Non-Prophets 24.23.3 with Eli, AJ, and Kelley LaughlinDelaware Legalizes Death with Dignity 🕊️Compassion or Control?
