JOIN the fight against Physician Assisted Suicide in CT. With Gov. Malloy facing possible defeat in NOV, advocates have 3 months to push their suicide bill through the state legislature.

If they did, a bunch of very Liberal CT residents would kill themselves ...

... but they'd still vote Democrat, so I see no upside.

Since 30% of all gun deaths are suicides, I think Connecticut should loosen their gun laws if they want to allow people to commit suicide.

These suicidal people should be given better access to the most efficient and effective way of doing themselves in.

http://courantblogs.com/capitol-watch/right-to-die-activists-call-on-legislature-to-revist-issue/
After right-to-die legislation was defeated in the General Assembly last year, advocates, hoping they will have another shot at the issue in the upcoming session, held a press conference Wednesday to call for new laws that would allow terminally ill patients to choose physician-assisted death.

“Looking at the trajectory of this disease can sometimes fill me with sadness and fear,” said Sara Meyers, a Connecticut resident who was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

But while the legislation has some vocal supporters, including Representative Betsy Ritter (D-Waterford), who hosted the press conference, the moral and ethical questions that it raises for some – as well as the implications of what it could lead to in practice – drew controversy in the legislature last year.

“ I am worried that this law, if passed, would open the door for undue influence of the elderly and disabled by allowing those around them to influence their decision to commit suicide for their own gain,” Sen. John Kissel (R-Enfield).

Here, Peter Wolfgang, president of the Family Institute of Connecticut, explains why his organization opposes the legislation.

Start with the Legislature, make it manditory! And then with the Governor...make it manditory! Add as many more needed to restore this state to Republic status.

Isn’t one of Obama’s Social Security Numbers from Connecticut? Is what I’m thinking stretching the spirit of the proposed law?

On the plus side, it might help turn Connecticut red.

This has NOTHING to with “compassion” or “death with dignity”!

This is about:

-Bastardizing the Medical Profession,
-Selfish family members who just want “their problem” to go away.

The individuals who contend, “Well I don’t want to ......”, simply do NOT know until they get there. And even then, have no business imposing on medical professionals to act against their oath.

That is a hard one in some ways.

Considering how the Northeast as a whole has been so instrumental in electing liberal politicians to bedevil the country for decades now, maybe encouraging then in thinning the population should be considered?

I know it is ethically and morally wrong, but I also look at the damage the NE has done.

No doubt unintended consequences would crop up and the only ones being euthanized would be the few remaining conservatives. The liberals would see to that, no doubt.
