I feel we need this desparately, due to the major increase in drug/alcohol usage today, With epic proportionsof lives lost ,causing so much grief and pain for families of loved ones, giving the addict/alcoholic to make choices for themselves ,when they cannot see how the are destroying their lives, and the lives of their families and loved ones. They should not be allowed to have the choice of choosing, Please Please we need this law in NYS, me of many many thousands being devasted watching my son choosing to slowly kill himself............
