The New York Assembly's recent approval of an assisted-suicide bill ignites heated debate, particularly in the Senate, where Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins faces pressure to advance it. Critics argue this legislation represents a dangerous moral shift, compelling healthcare providers to participate in ending lives, contradicting their duty to protect it. Citing troubling examples from countries like Canada and the Netherlands, where assisted-suicide measures have expanded beyond terminal illnesses to mental health issues, opponents warn of a slippery slope leading to state-sanctioned death for the vulnerable.
The measure is sold as simple mercy for the terminally ill, but it's no such thing. Why force doctors, sworn to protect life, into helping end it?
Canada's assisted-suicide program has already deployed against a mentally ill man who cited 'hearing loss' as the reason he wanted to die.
The examples of Europe and Canada show us that it never stops where advocates claim it will; it quickly escalates to broader acceptance of euthanasia.
Just look at the brave Democratic dissenters who had the courage to stand up and say no to a troubling bill that could lead to state-sanctioned death.
