Proponents argue that it's inaccurate to call it suicide when a dying patient chooses to hasten death with a prescription. Labeling that "suicide," I-1000 attorney Jessica Skelton said, is "politicized language" that "implies a value judgment and carries with it a social stigma."

That's because it SHOULD be called murder.

Yeah, democrats want to call it "warm and fuzzy Medicare and Social Security cost reduction initiatives" that eliminate "that unpleasant old person smell."

How does suicide not fall under the “right to self determination”....?

If people want to off themselves who cares?

A handgun used for the same outcome is considered suicide.

What amazing hubris. “We can’t call this what it really is because that might influence not to accept it.” A judge calling dishonesty a virtue.
