California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a measure to make physician assisted suicide legal in that state. The law will not go into effect until January. Oregon already has a law on the books. Didn’t Jack Kevorkian go to jail for this?
The new plan is to allow a terminally ill patient to administer his/her own drugs (pills) to end life. The target population is those that are ‘suffering’ and without insurance coverage that will cover treating them. Insurance will pay for the ‘pills’ to stop living. Ain’t that nice.
The patient must make the decision and take the medication while a doctor sits or stands around watches them die. Has the Hippocratic oath turned into the hypocritic oath? Looks like they can get you coming or going - abortion or suicide.
No, I am not going to get into the arguments about ‘right to choose’ when one’s life should end. It just seems that hanging around would be the sensible choice. As long as you are alive, you have a chance.
I would like to ask the ‘elite’ where they got authority over human life. And, I would like to know what they will do when ‘their time comes?’
If life means nothing we may as well become a nation of criminals, sexual deviants, masters and slaves, communist and haters of right that focus on whatever feels good and whatever a few can make the others succumb to.
Oops. We’re already there.
