Kathy Hochul

Kathy Hochul is the New York governor discussed in A Keir-death experience: Britain’s PM clings on. The episode says she signed New York’s assisted-dying law and linked the decision to her mother’s death from ALS.

The source presents Hochul as insisting on especially strong Assisted Dying Safeguards, including mental-fitness review and filmed, independently witnessed requests.
