OLYMPIA, Wash. – Terminally ill patients with less than six months to live will soon be able to ask their doctors to prescribe them lethal medication in Washington state.
But even though the "Death with Dignity" law takes effect Thursday, people who might seek the life-ending prescriptions could find their doctors conflicted or not willing to write them.
Many doctors are hesitant to talk publicly about where they stand on the issue, said Dr. Tom Preston, a retired cardiologist and board member of Compassion & Choices, the group that campaigned for and supports the law.

Did you do that Photoshop job with Frank Frazetta’s Death Dealer?
It’s not really any of the gubmint’s business if someone wants to commit suicide. The only reason a doctor has to get involved at all is that the gubmint doesn’t let supposedly free people buy their own drugs. They must get a prescription. Suicide has been around forever.
Because it’s fun to tell others how to live—or die.
Soylent Green ... They want the movie to be real ..
I shamelessly stole the image.
It’s a pretty good job, what with putting a donkey head on the horse.
Do you have any idea of how this law can be abused by
greedy relatives and their lawyers to kill off granny for her assets ????
Or cut off expensive experimental drugs because the hospital or doctor or relatives want to save on there costs ???
Lets me tell ya something , a relative of mine was told he had three months to live by the all knowing Doctors .
He survived for four more years and saw the world by ignoring there advice and continuing treatments !
The so-called “death with dignity” crowd can kiss my ass. I’m not leaving this movie until the “End Titles” are finished rolling.
the camel’s nose is under the tent. they will push for more just as soon as everyone’s accepted this
There are victims to doctor assisted suicide. The doctor forced to make the prescription, the nurses forced to take part, the family members who believe in life over death and the society which holds life in such contempt.
They are forcing other people to kill. If we want to end your life, do it yourself.
As soon as Obama rams through socialized healthcare. “Dying with dignity” will become everyone’s patriotic duty so as to save vital government resources for younger, more healthier people who have a higher economic value to the state.
Let me warn you that the Hospice is the biggest scam of them all !
These vultures flew around around my relative hoping for a big donation by helping bump him off early with the help of the hospital that wanted to cut there losses on his treatments ( he had Medicare).
Hospice wanted to move in right in after the 3 to 6 month diagnosis .
I told them to shove it on the phone.
Fours years later and three overseas trips later he died on his own in his own bed not in some hospice.
exactly.

Hey baby there aint no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I wont back down
No, I wont back down
