Poor Old Moonbeam ... is caught between a lot of conflicting moral arguments ... like killing old people ... murdering unborn babies ... marrying homosexuals ... enforcing laws that he has solemnly sworn to uphold but doesn't like such as deporting illegals ... and that is why his guts wrench a lot!
Can I choose whom I want to assist?????
Brown needs to be the first patient to use this service.
Moonbeam is a joke, but this is a good law. My death belongs to me and my walk with God. My death does not belong to the church, the state, the courts or FReepers.
I claim the right to die on my terms.
I’m sorry but the Democrats are spouting astronimical stats on suicide by gun but yet they’re going to allow someone to get help being killed. SMH
All I want to know is how much money is in it?
Good. Maybe we can get all the left wing liberals in California to kill themselves. Promise them some money and a free Obama phone to do it.
And I was so absolutely sure my letter to the governor was going to convince him to veto this bill.
Brown never made, or was swayed by a moral argument in his life. What would a democrat do? is his only mantra.
Will the physician’s cocktail stand up to liberal scrutiny for use on death row? Will Moonbeam test it out for us and see if the prescribed drugs work? With his history and probable tolerance it would be a physician’s challenge. The hard part with most Californians will be determining the definition of brain death.
"Gut-wrenching" says the Los Angeles Times.
People who want to die in other states will sue their state for having a ban on assisted-suicides, and then federal judges are going to strike down those bans, then SCOTUS will legalize it throughout the country.
Hospitals do it now all over the country under the signed “do not resuscitate” forms. If I am going to die or dying, just give me morphine until it kills me.
““This is a dark day for California and for the Brown legacy,” Rosales said in a statement. “As someone of wealth and access to the world’s best medical care and doctors, the governor’s background is very different than that of millions of Californians living in healthcare poverty without that same access — these are the people and families potentially hurt by giving doctors the power to prescribe lethal overdoses to patients.””
The poor will be murdered through coercion. The elderly will be murdered through coercion. Many elderly take their own lives now just because they feel they are a burden.
What’s the difference between this and hospice care besides the timeline?

We have what we call "Comfort Measures Only" on many terminally ill...intimately going to die patients.
We keep them comfortable...Morphine drip, all the 02 they need....
Not a thing wrong with that....
That said....MoonBeam is an idiot.
There is nothing moral about Moonbeam and he must have flunked out of seminary school.
