Vermont Allows Medically Assisted Deaths for Nonresidents
---------------------------------------------------------

Vermont has become the first state in the country to extend medically
assisted suicide protections to terminally ill people who travel from
out of state to end their lives. Republican Governor Phil Scott signed
the bill into law, removing the residency requirement from Vermont's
decades-old assisted suicide statute.
