Wesley J. Smith wrote an excellent article that was published by the Epoch Times on February 5, 2024 on how states that have legalized assisted suicide have almost universally passed new expansive legislation, including the removal of state residency requirements that permit suicide tourism.
For instance, Oregon and Vermont have removed their state assisted suicide residency requirement, permitting people to travel from anywhere to die by assisted suicide in those states. A recent court case is challenging the New Jersey assisted suicide law residency requirement, and an assisted suicide expansion bill in Colorado seeks to permit suicide tourism in that state.
Wesley Smith explains:
Assisted suicide zealots have long sought to similarly impose their death agenda throughout the nation regardless of state laws to the contrary. Indeed, not long after Oregon voters legalized doctor-prescribed death in 1994, advocates tried to get the Supreme Court to impose a Roe v. Wade-type constitutional right to assisted suicide.
Happily, in the 1997 case of Washington v. Glucksberg, the Court instead ruled unanimously that no such right exists in the Constitution.
Removing state residency requirements is turning assisted suicide into a national issue in America. Smith explains:
But euthanasia advocates never quit. After they failed to sweep the country with legalization efforts — despite decades of advocacy, only 10 states and the District of Columbia currently have legalized doctor-assisted suicide — they have now fashioned a new scheme to open the door to hastened death to any adult in the country with a terminal illness.

I can see euthanasia being used as a legal murder of someone by those who want to steal their wealth. It is no different than taking out a high price life insurance policy on someone with the desire to profit on a murder.
We don't call the Leftnicks the Culture of Death for nothing.
I wonder if the AMA abd big Pharma looks forward to the additional monies provided to enable euthanasia on patients or if continued medical care of terminally ill patients is more profit? I’m not really sure which would cost more but follow the money and you’ll probably find the impetus behind this.
I am all for all Democrats taking a dirt nap.
I’ve wondered if Artie was the true inspiration for Thinky.
