Let’s not be confused by double speak. The bill (HB 5898) that the Connecticut legislature is poised to consider has nothing to do with “aid in dying.” Aid in dying is palliative care to improve the quality of a person’s remaining life. The World Health Organization views such care as a human right. The bill would not expand desperately needed access to palliative care or expand patient autonomy – patients already have the right to refuse any type of treatment. Instead, the bill concerns the authority of doctors. It sets forth the circumstances under which a doctor could actively prescribe lethal drugs to directly cause the death of a supposedly willing patient without fear of liability.
If the selective writing of lethal prescriptions was a valid medical practice, as proponents assert that is, there would be no reason for laws to immunize medical professionals from suffering any consequences from doing so. What is being proposed in HB 5898 would amount to a radical change in medical culture. Causing death could be viewed as an option in the “care” of some patients.

Does this include the ones elected to public office?
From the headline alone, sounds like liberals are soon to be history.
Liberalism is a debilitating mental disease.
Not this doc....
I swear by Apollo Physician, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture.
To hold my teacher in this art equal to my own parents; to make him partner in my livelihood; when he is in need of money to share mine with him; to consider his family as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they want to learn it, without fee or indenture; to impart precept, oral instruction, and all other instruction to my own sons, the sons of my teacher, and to indentured pupils who have taken the physician’s oath, but to nobody else.
I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. But I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art. I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein.
Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets.
Now if I carry out this oath, and break it not, may I gain for ever reputation among all men for my life and for my art; but if I break it and forswear myself, may the opposite befall me.”
Killing people seems to be popular with the Libs.....
Yeah, and it’s usually those who cannot defend themselves....
However, if we point out that the new version is only recreating the old T-4 Program, they get all butt hurt and deny it...
This Socialist approves!
God bless you!
Eugenics seem to be alive and well.
About damn time, we're awash in commie politicos. Course, they're so bad at writing laws and so self-serving it'll end up like HIPAA -- it protects your medical privacy from everyone except the entity most likely to violate it in a harmful way.
Yeah, they never seem to want a piece of someone who can fight back. Go figure.
“Connecticut Assisted Suicide Bill Would Allow Doctors to Kill Mentally Disabled Patients”
One stipulation... they must be democrats.
Hmmm. I wonder what the S stands for in the NSDAP in the last line.
When laws like this were passed in Europe, elderly people began to fear going to the physicians as they were afraid the physician might decide the person had no real “quality of life” left and kill them anyway.
How soon before the elderly here are going to be shoved into gas chambers and furnaces?
So all of the mentally disabled liberals from AOC to their dumbest voters are going to lineup and let doctors whack them?
Ladies and gentlemen, behold The American Nazi Party.
The death penalty should be carried out by nitrogen asphyxiation. There are no lethal chemicals to handle, no distress on the part of the condemned prisoner. It passes me by why we have to use such Rube Goldbergian processes.
Makes me think of the twilight zone and The Obsolete Man episode.
