Urge Judiciary Committee to Vote 'NO" on Assisted Suicide

Subject:

I encourage you to vote against SB 1076, "An Act Concerning Aid in Dying for Terminally Ill Patients." Despite the approval of SB 1076 by the Public Health Committee, this legislation still has many shortcomings that the members of the Judiciary Committee should seriously consider. It does not protect patients from coersion and the so called "safeguards" are mostly unenforceable and not true protections. This is not the direction healthcare should be going in Connectiut. I urge you to support improvements in end-of-life care, such as improved nursing homes, hospice and palliative care. These services respect human life and when done correctly reflect true compassion.
  SB 1076 will allow the taking of human life through the distribution of a drug cocktail whose only purpose is to kill. If the legislature is going to legalize what amounts to a medical gun shouldn't the protections and laws surrounding it be rock solid. In the case of SB 1076 they are not. 
  Please protect the people of Connecticut and vote "No" on SB 1076. There are other means to address the needs of those who feel this legislation is needed.

summary

Despite testimony that physician-assisted suicide is not true compassionate medical care and can potentially lead to abuse of vulnerable people, such as the disabled, elderly and seriously ill the Public Health Committee voted to support SB 1076. The bill is now expected to be reviewed and voted on by the Judiciary Committee. We need your assistance to continue the battle and stop this terrifying piece of legislation.
