Michigan Democrats quietly introduced legislation last month that would legalize assisted suicide in the state.
While the country was distracted by other issues, Democrats in Lansing rolled out a package of bills designed to create what they call a “Death with Dignity Act.”
The name sounds so gentle and compassionate, yet it is anything but.
According to the Midland Daily News, House Bills 5825 through 5828 seek to create a legal process to allow terminally ill patients to obtain medication from doctors that would kill them.
The text of House Bill 5825 says it would “regulate physician assistance for patient-requested life-ending medication.”
Democrats argued the bill would not be abused if it were passed, like in Canada, where the assisted suicide laws are akin to genocide.
Patients would be required to undergo multiple referrals, waiting periods, evaluations, and mental health referrals before being given the drugs.
The legislation also includes criminal penalties for coercion and forbids lethal injections administered by another person.
But none of that changes the core issue, which is that doctors are supposed to heal people, and not kill them.
For generations, the medical profession was built around preserving as much life as possible while easing suffering.
Now, again, Democratic Party lawmakers want physicians involved in supplying medication specifically intended to end a human life.
Another provision would prevent insurance companies from treating these deaths as suicide for policy purposes.
The state would officially redefine suicide so the system can accommodate its desire for more death.
The fact that a bill like this has even been introduced tells you everything you need to know about the bloodlust of the American left.

Can we nominate folks?
The party of hatred and death.
0f course it’s the Dems promoting suicice.
M.A.I.D. in Michigan. UNsustainable useless eaters. DEPOPULATION includes “bitter clingers” and “deplorables”.
Democrats quietly introduced legislation last month that would legalize assisted suicide.
If it’s for democrats don’t note a problem?.
The left is suffering terribly. I’m not sure if they can survive as constituted for much longer. They want to kill babies and old people at this point. They are clinically psychotic.
I don’t think that if a muslim kills himself without being involved with the infidel, he will get his virgins.
“...lawmakers want physicians involved in supplying medication specifically intended to end a human life.”
Physicians are not the only way of killing oneself. The doctors will only be providing a gentler, less painful way of doing it. If a person is going to do it, they will get it done. And quietly going to sleep and passing would be a lot better for the family than watching their loved one put a gun to his/her head. I believe the word is compassion.

Assisted Suicide -
Is that where some one helps me conduct a suicide - Like Vince Foster’s?
I think they should start with themselves.
Test it on democrat politicians first to see if it works
How about this? NO.
Rich people can fly to Switzerland for assisted dying.
Middle-class people can migrate to Canada for assisted dying.
Poor people can go to Chicago or Mexico and get whacked for free.
Cannot kill criminals for committing crimes but allow healthy people to kill themselves for their wants.
NO!!
Nazi ghouls! Getting rid of the “useless eaters”.
