New York Senate approves bill that would allow medically assisted suicide for the terminally ill.

The bill would allow a person with an incurable illness to be prescribed life-ending drugs if he or she requests the medication and gets approval from two physicians.

Opponents have argued the state should instead improve end-of-life medical care or have objected on religious grounds.
