New York State Task Force on Life and the Law

The New York State Task Force on Life and the Law is an advisory group that examines complex issues at the intersection of medicine, law, and ethics. Established in response to challenging decisions about healthcare, such as end-of-life care and reproductive rights, the Task Force provides recommendations and guidance to lawmakers and the public. Its goal is to ensure that legal and ethical standards reflect the values of society, while promoting understanding and dialogue about critical health-related matters. This helps to shape policies that affect individuals and families across New York State.
