State Sen. Mike Gabbard, a Democrat who voted against the bill, called attention to the fact that it requires death certificates to list patients’ cause of death as their underlying terminal illness rather than the life-ending drugs they took.

That's going to raise some issues with the insurance companies. Falsification of records to camouflage a controversial policy choice is bad stuff.

Most people move to Hawaii for the beauty and the water.

Now they will move there to die.

[dfwgator]

This will not end well.

[Mr. K]

that ought to cut down on retirement benefits payouts

Sign up 0bama and Mooch to ‘test drive’ the process. ;)

It's legal in closer states, and HI is an expensive place to go for that. There may be varying conditions and tests, but physician-assisted suicide is legal in CA, OR, WA, CO, VT, DC, also MT (by court decision).

Other states have considered it, many no legislation this year.

Not advocating it, just tried to find the most up-to-date information.

Nice, they made it retroactive to election week 2008 for Typical White Granny.

How soon before they force uncooperative physicians to assist? If the left can oppress Christian bakers for not cranking out a gay celebration cake, surely they can force doctors to violate their Hippocratic oath. Or has this already occurred?

Paging Dr. Kevorkian ...

Ah, got to Hawaii and commit suicide. Wonder what kind of vacation specials they will offer?

[Husker24]

I never understood how so called small government conservatives would have a problem with terminally ill people ending their life on their own terms with the help of their Dr.

[Gay State Conservative]

So Grandmas statewide had better be on their guard...particularly if they have any kind of net worth.

To the delight of assisted suicide activists, Democratic Gov. David Ige signed HB 2739 into law, saying it’s “time for terminally ill, mentally competent Hawaii residents who are suffering to make their own end-of-life choices with dignity, grace and peace.”

Well then this ought to be good news to the families of murder victims that the drugs so wonderful for assisted suicide can also be used to execute convicted murderers, right?

[robel]

The Hawaii Tourism Authority will have fun incorporating that into their ads. Islands of Death.

[Shethink13]

Assisted Suicide???!!! That’s an oxymoron. If someone is assisting you to die it’s not suicide - it’s murder.

[doorgunner69]

A lot of vicious liberals here need to be assisted, but they might not give permission.
