Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) vetoed a bill Monday that would have allowed people with terminal illnesses to end their lives with a physician’s assistance, the first time any governor has rejected such a bill after it passed a state legislature.
“Given recent progress in science and medicine and the fact that only a small number of states and jurisdictions allow for similar end-of-life protocols, I am not comfortable supporting this bill,” Lombardo wrote in a veto message.
