Boston, Mass., May 3, 2023 / 13:30 pm Republican Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont signed a bill Tuesday allowing non-residents to avail themselves of the state’s assisted suicide law.
Vermont legalized assisted suicide in 2013, but with this new law became the first state in the nation to change its legislation to allow the life-ending procedure to those living out of state, according to the Associated Press.
Oregon stopped enforcing its residency requirement for assisted suicide in 2022 but has not enshrined that provision in law.
Earlier this year Vermont reached a settlement with a Connecticut woman who had sued the state over its residency requirement for assisted suicide.
According to the Vermont Department of Health, assisted suicide is available for those “suffering from an incurable and irreversible disease” that will end the patient’s life within six months.
After a doctor determines death is imminent, a patient must make an oral and written request for the lethal dosage. There must be two people over the age of 18 who sign the written request as witnesses to affirm that “the patient appeared to understand the nature of the document and to be free from duress or undue influence at the time the request was signed,” the law says.
Participation in assisted suicide by any physician, nurse, or pharmacist must be “completely voluntary,” according to the state’s Department of Health.

Progs love death, killing, and pedophilia. Wretched evil people.
How about assisted suicide to DemocRATs?
Vermont is for Killers
Along these lines, pass legislation combining term limits with assisted suicide.
Just kidding.
So now the state can advertise itself as a FINAL destination resort.
How long before we have “enhanced offers” of suicide?
Im good with that..kill all illegals.
I should have said “enhanced offers of assisted suicide.”
For example, what if a CGI/AI version of Jesus were to “offer assisted suicide” to an elderly or mentally compromised person?
This is an evil country.
The term “progressive”, like every flattering term Leftists use to describe themselves, is without context unless they explain what it is they are progressing toward. Then it’s not so flattering, which is why they leave out the context.
The nevaDUH legislature is working on an assisted suicide bill currently. Take the responsibility for taking your own if you want. Don’t drag others into it. Not sure if Lombardo would sign it or not.
Come To Lovely Vermont! We Can Kill You!
