Hearings were already held on Senate Bill 2051 and House Bill 7760, which means that either or both chambers can schedule a committee vote and subsequent floor vote on assisted suicide extremely quickly. Your state Senator and state Representative need to hear from you now.

The dangerous policy of assisted suicide puts our most vulnerable relatives, friends, and neighbors at risk – and even ourselves. Suicide is not health care. Patients deserve access to quality care, not an ill-conceived public policy, riddled with loop-holes, that puts patients at risk of mistakes, coercion, and abuse.

The legalization of assisted suicide not only abandons the vulnerable, it puts all of us at risk by changing the standard of care, allowing for the substitution of life-saving, life-supporting, and life-enhancing medical care, as well as quality palliative and hospice care, with the cheap and irreversible alternative of ending patients' lives. And it undercuts suicide prevention efforts by sending the message that suicide is okay!
