Urge Delaware Governor John Carney to veto assisted suicide Bill

Governor John Carney

Everyone needs to contact Delaware Governor John Carney and urge him to veto assisted suicide Bill HB 140.

On June 25, 2024, the Delaware Senate passed assisted suicide bill HB 140 by a vote of 11 to 10.

In a 2022 interview, Governor Carney stated that he opposed assisted suicide. He stated:

“Ultimately, though, I believe enabling physicians to facilitate suicide crosses a boundary that I’m just not comfortable crossing.”

In the past, Alex Schadenberg called Governor Carney's office and was told that the assisted suicide bill was not on his desk yet.

We are not sure why the assisted suicide bill was delayed in getting to Governor Carney's desk but it has reached his desk and it must be vetoed.

Call Governor Carney at: 302-744-4101 or email him at: john.carney@delaware.gov

You can also contact him at his Wilmington Office at: 302-577-3210 

Stick to the basic talking points. Don't mix the issues. Assisted suicide is never a solution. It is never a good idea to give physicians the right in law to assist the suicide of their patients. We believe in caring for people, not killing.
