Breitbart ^ | 12 Dec 2025 | Katherine Hamilton

Democrat Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker expanded his state’s culture of death on Friday by signing a bill into law legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill people.

Illinois is now the 12th state, plus Washington, DC, that allows physicians to assist terminally ill people in killing themselves — all in the name of “choice,” compassion, and easing end-of-life suffering.

Pritzker signed the bill despite concerns from opponents that such a law could be a slippery slope (look no further than Canada) and could be used to coerce people with disabilities and financial hardships to choose death. […]

The bill, called the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act, would allow individuals who are at least 18 years old and are residents of Illinois to request and self-administer drugs to end their lives if they have a terminal disease with a prognosis of six months or less to live. The bill includes some guardrails, such as two requests with a five-day waiting period between the first and second request, physician review, informed consent requirements, and mental capacity evaluations, as well as state data collection and some conscience protections for healthcare workers. …

We have that in Canada, being the globalist ghouls we are. Some call it an organ harvesting program.

It’s a sad day for Illinois. The camel’s nose is under the tent for state sponsored euthanasia. I hope Julius Caesar Caligula Pritzger burns…….

In any country that has a large Health Insurance industry this is a very dangerous law to have that can be used to arbitrarily murder people.

While the concept of relieving a terminally ill patient of their pain and suffering appears compassionate... The reality is, assisted suicide legislation gets abused... It's a very slippery slope and Canada is a good example of 'assisted suicide' run amuck...

Medical assistance in dying (MAID) is a leading cause of death in Canada, ranking as the fifth most frequent cause of death in 2023, tied with cerebrovascular diseases.

Since being introduced in Canada the number of MAID deaths have increased yearly and several people are choosing it even when their medical condition isn't terminal and in some cases when their death is based on mental stress caused by a variety of non-terminal illnesses.

Leading Causes of Death in Canada (2023)

According to Statistics Canada and various reports, the top causes of death are:

Malignant neoplasms (cancer): 84,629 deaths

Diseases of the heart: 57,890 deaths

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 20,597 deaths

Cerebrovascular diseases: 13,833 deaths

Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID): 15,343 deaths

That is exactly what it is. Same with the abortion industry.

The issue is never the issue… they sell assisted suicide for the depressed as if it is a human right of the victim , and abortion as if it is a human right of the woman, but what it really is, is a way to supply the secular medical giants, big pharma researchers and universities with a reliable flow of human organs and tissues.

Its just a short jump to forced euthenasia for the “undesireables”, those whom the state thinks are too expensive to continue treating.
