They’re rules to literally die from!
New York’s health department released rules for the state’s controversial new doctor-assisted suicide law — as critics argue it’ll herald a “new and frightening era” allowing government and corporations to view patients as expendable.
The rules aim to set strict standards for how patients “self-administer” suicide medications, including requiring two verbal requests and mandatory waiting period.
But the rules and the medical euthanasia wider law – which goes into effect Aug. 5 and likely will be challenged in court – were condemned by New York Archdiocese Archbishop Ronald Hicks as the expression of a growing “throwaway culture” that discards life.
“Sadly, the idea that all life is precious, deserving of care, protection, and dignity, has slowly disappeared from our culture,” Hicks said in a recent column published in the Catholic Journal First Things and a segment on the Catholic Faith Network.
The law effectively makes New York a beefed-up version of “Doctor Death” – the late doctor Jack Kevorkian, whose trailblazing efforts to help patients end their own lives made him the wider death with dignity movement’s face during the 1990s.
But whereas Kevorkian skirted the law, New York is now one of 13 states plus the District of Columbia — nearly all liberal blue jurisdictions — that officially approved doctor-assisted suicide.
Supporters have branded the law with a euphemism: “Medical Aid in Dying” or MAID.
The law allows terminally ill New Yorkers with less than six months to live to make a voluntary, informed decision to request medication to end their lives via suicide.
Hicks said the law presents a dangerous “slippery slope,” expressing concern it could expand from covering patients with incurable illness to other maladies such as chronic or mental illness or people with disabilities.

“a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science”
It’s on our doorstep.
Look at the bright side of this- NY is a blue state so fewer NYers is a good thing!!!
Time to buy medical care related stocks!
Medical care corporations will be able to cut costs and increase profits!
