From the article:
They said the law punishes only those involved in assisted suicides if they speak publicly about it, but does nothing to block one from being carried out by others who stay silent.
Words fail me.
Any person who knowingly and willfully commits any act which destroys the volition of another, such as fraudulent practices upon such persons fears, affections, or sympathies; duress; or any undue influence whereby the will of one person is substituted for the wishes of another, and thereby intentionally causes or induces such other person to commit or attempt to commit suicide shall be guilty of a felony.
The Court might have it right in terms of the legalese. I am not a lawyer, but the law seems to address everything up to the assisted suicide and not the act itself.
If they go back to the drawing board, it should be stronger than “Don't ask, don't tell.”
Our founding fathers fought and died so doctors could defy the Hippocratic oath, and so state legislators could be overturned by kangaroos in black robes.
