Important Takeaways:
- The slippery slope of physician-assisted suicide is coming to Connecticut
- Connecticut is poised to pass what is euphemistically called An Act Concerning Aid in Dying for Terminally Ill Patients giving doctors the permission to kill patients who want to be killed.
- Polls show 63% approval for this legislation.
- This bill is just the beginning of a large social trend that decades from now will result in the killing of the disabled, those suffering from severe psychiatric disorders and the indigent elderly.
- Canada, with a population of 40 million (the same as California), has had doctors kill nearly 10,000 patients in the past year, over 3% of deaths. Canada has socialized medicine but does not allow private pay, thus Canadians endure long wait times or outright denials for treatment while wealthy Canadians simply come to the United States for care and pay out of pocket. Thus, poorer Canadians are opting for physician-assisted suicide rather than living without treatment and services the government refuses to cover.
