Delaware
Carney has previously opposed physician-assisted suicide
Carney added that like lawmakers, he’ll look at it from various angles.
“I think every member looks at it from their own perspective in terms of their moral compass, in terms of their religious background in terms of their own personal experience,” he said. “I think everybody has that both personal perspective, which comes from kind of their moral compass, and their experience, and that’s the approach I’ll take.”
If Carney vetoes the legislation, it’s not clear if the legislature would have the votes to override the veto. The bill did not pass with veto-proof majorities. Lawmakers would need 3/5ths of each chamber to vote yes to overturn a veto.
The legislation is called the Ron Silverio/Heather Block Delaware End-of-Life Options Act, named in honor of two advocates of the legislation.
Supporters say it includes a number of safeguards, including ensuring patients are self-administering the medication, moral objection opt-outs for medical providers, waiting periods and mandatory mental health evaluations. Two doctors would be required to certify that the patient is mentally capable, making an informed decision and is acting voluntarily.
Democratic Sen. Stephanie Hansen, of Middletown, who supported the bill in the Senate, talked about her father enduring amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, which leaves people unable to eat, breathe or move.
“Every day after he got to a particular point, he would say to my mother ‘Sara Lee, please take the pistol out of the nightstand that we keep next to our bed and shoot me. This needs to be over,’” Hansen said. “Every single day.”
A number of groups representing the disability community have opposed the legislation. They said they are concerned disabled people could be manipulated to end their lives, instead of receiving what could be expensive medical care.
If it becomes law, Delaware would be the 11th state nationwide to enact an end-of-life provision, joining other states like New Jersey, Vermont and Oregon.
Salty ocean water is creeping up the Delaware River, the source for much of the drinking water for Philadelphians and millions of others, brought on by drought conditions and sea level rise, and prompting officials to tap reservoirs to push the unpotable tide back downstream. Officials say drinking water isn’t imminently at risk yet, but they’re monitoring the effects of the drought on the river and studying options for the future in case further droughts sap the area, per the AP.
- What is the salt front? The salt front, or salt line, is where salt water from the ocean and fresh water meet in the river. That boundary is typically somewhere around Wilmington, Delaware, but the recent drought has pushed it about 20 miles north.

Authorities are investigating an apparent murder-suicide after three people, including two children, were found dead inside a vehicle near Highway 85 and East 340 Road early Saturday.
The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an abandoned vehicle around 6 a.m. Upon arrival, deputies discovered the bodies of Alisia Peña, 38, of Tulsa, and her two children, both under the age of 10.
Preliminary findings indicate that Peña shot the children before taking her own life. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is working to determine the official cause and manner of death.
“At this time we are still trying to determine why she was in the area, there’s no none known family or contacts of hers that are in the area.,” said Cpt. Jackie Smithson, with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies say they plan to interview family members next week to determine why this happened.
No additional details are being released at this time.
