NY state Senate approves doctor-assisted suicide bill, sends it to Hochul's desk for approval
ALBANY – State Senate Democrats passed highly controversial legislation that would allow terminally ill people to take their own lives with the help of doctors in a razor-thin vote Monday — leaving it up to Gov. Kathy Hochul whether to sign it into law. 'This is one of the great social reforms of our state,' state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan), the bill's sponsor in the upper chamber, touted at a press conference earlier in the day Monday — putting the measure on the same tier as the legalization of gay marriage. 'This is about personal autonomy, this is about liberty, this is about exercising one's own freedom to control one's body,' Hoylman-Sigal continued. The measure passed 35 to 27, with six Democrats – Senators April Baskin, Siela Bynoe, Cordelle Cleare, Monica Martinez, Roxanne Persaud, and Sam Sutton – voting against it. 'The governor will review the legislation,' a spokesperson for Hochul said. The bill's passage follows a years-long campaign that was fought tooth and nail by a diverse group of critics, including disability rights activists and the Catholic church, as well as many black and Orthodox Jewish communities. 'The Governor still has the opportunity to uphold New York's commitment to suicide prevention, protect vulnerable communities, and affirm that every life—regardless of disability, age, or diagnosis—is worthy of care, dignity, and protection,' The New York Alliance Against Assisted Suicide wrote in a statement following the vote. A Catholic group slammed the bill's passing as 'a dark day for New York' and also called on Hochul to refuse to sign it. 'For the first time in its history, New York is on the verge of authorizing doctors to help their patients commit suicide. Make no mistake – this is only the beginning, and the only person standing between New York and the assisted suicide nightmare unfolding in Canada is Governor Hochul,' Dennis Poust, Executive Director of the New York State Catholic Conference, wrote in a statement. Ahead of the vote, the nearly three-hour debate on the Senate floor got emotional, with several lawmakers holding back tears as they explained their votes. Syracuse-area state Sen. Rachel May (D-Onondaga) shared the story of her late husband, who was receiving morphine in the final stages of his battle with cancer, which he eventually succumbed to at 32 years old. 'I don't know if the last largest dose he took also took his life, but I know that he died in peace,' May said. 'It isn't about controlling the disease or controlling the pain, it's about having control at the end of your life,' she said before voting in favor. Critics fear the legislation lacks critical safeguards over how doctors approve patients looking to receive the prescription for a lethal cocktail of drugs, such as a statutory waiting period, establishing clear chain of custody for the pills, mandating the doctor and recipient meet in-person, and requiring a disclosure that someone indeed used the drugs to take their own life. Under the bill, recipients would need approval from two doctors and a sign-off from two independent witnesses, after which they would receive a prescription for drugs they could use to take their life at a time of their choosing. Doctors also do not have to conduct a mental health screening for each patient, but may refer a patient for one under the legislation. 'I don't think requesting end-of-life medication when an individual is suffering and in pain and dying suggests a mental health condition, if anything, I think it's quite rational,' Hoylman-Sigal said. Hoylman vowed the bill would not lead to such 'unintended consequences.' 'It was a professional organization that provided us crucial guidance, that helped us develop the state-of-the-art safeguards in this legislation that gave my colleagues and the general public, I believe, the assurance that there will not be unintended consequences,' he said. The legislation is referred to by its supporters as the 'Medical Aid in Dying' bill. 'The option of medical aid in dying provides comfort, allowing those who are dying to live their time more fully and peacefully until the end. I am profoundly grateful to Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins for giving her conference the space to have this important and emotional discussion,' Corinne Carey, Senior Campaign Director of Compassion and Choices, the main group driving the effort to pass the bill, wrote in a statement.

Just like you, a dermatologist used to be overwhelmed by skincare products. Here's her simple anti-aging routine.
Even dermatologists can find the skincare world intimidating to wade through. Dr. Suchismita "Tia" Paul, a board-certified dermatologist in Newport Beach, California, said her professional training helped her understand which products actually worked. Prior to that, "I was always very confused, too," Paul, 38, told Business Insider. She learned that it's precisely that pressure to pile on enough anti-aging ingredients — vitamin C, retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, ceramides — that can cause skin irritation and breakouts. Paul is active on social media to help demystify the skincare world. In one video, she speaks with Mindy Kaling about toning down retinol use. "My biggest takeaway is keeping it simple," she said. "Not having too many steps, especially if you don't know what each serum is meant to do." Paul broke down her simple daytime and nighttime skincare routine step-by-step, including which products she swaps out seasonally. 4-step morning skincare routine: She washes her face with a gentle cleanser (La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser). She applies a "treatment," usually vitamin C serum (cult-favorite $182 Skinceuticals C E Ferulic or the more affordable $35 version from Timeless Skin Care) to target brown spots. Sometimes, she swaps the vitamin C with niacinamide (Paula's Choice Niacinamide 20% Treatment) if her skin feels red or dry. Paul said this step varies depending on your personal skin needs. For example, if you have acne, you'll want to use a serum with salicylic acid. She tops with a hydrating moisturizer (CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel). She likes these because they're affordable and have hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Lastly, she applies tinted sunscreen (Supergoop Glowscreen SPF 40). "I don't wear much makeup, so I find that very nice because it just leaves a little glow," she said. She also likes the tinted options from La Roche-Posay and EltaMD. 4-step nighttime skincare routine Paul starts by double-cleansing, first with an oil-based cleanser (Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm) to remove sunscreen and eye makeup. She then finishes with her morning cleanser (La Roche-Posay Toleriane Purifying Foaming Cleanser). She uses either a prescription-strength retinoid (tretinoin), which increases cell turnover and boosts collagen production for more youthful-looking skin. When her skin is feeling sensitive, she instead uses a gentler, over-the-counter retinol (Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Firming & Smoothing Serum with Hyaluronic Acid). "I've been using tretinoin for 10 years — even then, I cannot do it every single night," she said. She applies the same moisturizer she used in the morning (CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel). The last step is an eye cream (Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions Fill + Repair Eye Cream) to hydrate her under-eye area more. She also exfoliates and practices skin-cycling Paul exfoliates her skin a few times a week to unclog her pores and soften her skin. After cleansing her skin in the morning, she applies a chemical exfoliant (Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant) or a scrub (ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Polish). She said which one you use should be "based on how sensitive or dry your skin feels." After that step, she adds moisturizer and sunscreen, omitting any serums that could irritate her skin. She also changes her skincare routine depending on the season. In the winter, when her skin feels drier, she'll take breaks from retinol and vitamin C (which can be irritating). Instead, she uses snail mucin (COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence) or a hyaluronic acid serum (La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum) for extra hydration. If you're just starting out with a skincare routine, she emphasized being consistent as well as patient with the results. "I've been doing this for so long and now, yes, I feel like my skin is super nice and soft," she said. "But for the first couple of months, you're not going to see the effects right away."
