Assisted suicide bill removed from agenda again
Originally published April 26, 2018 by Delaware State News
Known as the Delaware End of Life Options Act, the measure was introduced by Rep. Paul Baumbach, D-Newark, last year.
The House of Representatives did not vote on a controversial assisted suicide bill on their agenda this week.

Opponents have stressed that the bill could lead to individuals with disabilities being pressured to end their lives.
