Colorado’s Assisted Suicide Bill Would Invite Out-Of-Staters To End Their Lives In Two Days Or Less
the Federalist ^ | 2-13-24 | DR. DAVID MURPHY

Posted on 02/13/2024 9:10:43 AM PST by dynachrome

Canadian lawmakers recently introduced legislation to delay a planned expansion of their Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program for three years. Without this delay, the rapidly increasing Canadian suicide rates will explode as those suffering from mental health conditions will be allowed to commit suicide with the help of a medical professional.

Not to be outdone, some Colorado legislators seem eager to expand the culture of death outside the womb and constitutionally enshrine a nonexistent “right” to death inside the womb. They are making the expansion of death a “hill to die on.”

House and Senate legislators have introduced the so-called “Medical Aid-in-Dying” bill. The bill goes much further than voters previously approved with the 2016 Proposition 106 on physician-assisted suicide. This bill would greatly expand Colorado’s assisted suicide laws, significantly increase access, and reduce the waiting period for those choosing death by medical professionals from 15 days to 48 hours, or even less under certain circumstances.

"A similar trajectory is occurring in Colorado. Having obtained a Democratic governing trifecta, the Colorado Legislature is busy pushing leftist ideas like SB24-068. The bill has several poison pills in it, including the removal of the requirement for patients to be state residents. The Colorado medical tourism industry of abortion and transgender surgery on minors will expand to support end-of-life participants. The devaluing of life across the Centennial State continues apace, even claiming moral superiority."

Since liberals are much more prone to suicide than conservatives I’m fine with this.

“suffering from mental health conditions”

that’s the test if someone can enter into a legally binding agreement……. So how does the provider defend this service?

Since many politicians realize that they are pitiful, worthless human beings...and since they are not strong enough to do this to themselves...they project out onto others, wanting to murder them. Truly a pathetic state of affairs.

How does this work?

If an underage person goes to Co. And they kill them, How are they not liable? can the family sue for murder?

Or same with a person with mental issues, how can they make a “sound” decision?

But, what about inmates?

Orm If a person is on death row. Awaiting execution. but with years of waiting, appeals and delays, then decides assisted suicide?
How does THAT play out?

The left has a planet to save—killing the elderly is a good place for the sociopaths to start.

This is closely related to the “OK, boomer” attitude being pushed on my generation (millennial) and younger. Few will connect the dots...

Colorado legislators ... are making the expansion of death a “hill to die on.”

Sometimes jokes just write themselves.
