California Assembly passes doctor assisted suicide

California Assembly passes doctor-assisted suicide. So kill the sick people and kill as many babies as you want, but capital punishment for murderers and serial killers is still banned.

  • Anoher movevto b reduce the spending in California. If, through euthanasia and abortion reduce the population, the remaing money can more easily stolen.

    • And those that die without a will, even by their own hand get screwed by Kalifornia and it's probate courts..More money for the democrats..they are so low they steal from the dead, but then they do let them vote...democrat.

    • Different. Vaccination is about herd protection, not just individual disease limitation. Just like chlorinated water systems virtually eliminated typhus and cholera. But euthanasia is specifically designed to be individual. I just don't think it would remain so.

      • Sorry, but I have to call nonsense on that.

        If you've had your shots and they're so damned effective, then you have nothing to fear from me when I choose as a free person to refrain from having shots.

        It IS an individual decision.

        • Again, if an adequate number are vaccinated, then a few not vaccinated AREN'T a threat. But tip below that percentage, and the nonvvaccinated start falling like dominos. Most vaccines are against viruses. The more time itctravels through atients, the higher the risk of developing mutated strains that the vaccines no longer protect against. Epidemics follow.

    • But, thanks to President Fecal Matter, if you work for a government contractor you can take seven sick days before you do yourself in and get it with pay! What a country.........

  • Indeed, it's far better to just withhold fluids and nourishment so our loved ones can die long painful deaths instead of quick merciful ones to please the religious zelots.

    This happens every day in every state in the US, it just doesn't get publicized.

    • There is a difference between doctors medicating to relieve misery and ease a patient's death, and prescribing a lethal dose of something for the expressed purpose of killing them. It sounds like a small step, promoters of this sort of legislation consciously make it sound like a small step, but it is actually a giant one. As experience has shown in Europe, what starts out as a measure to ease pain at the end of a patient's life quickly becomes rampant out-of-control death dealing by the very people we expect to be concentrated on saving our lives.

      "In Belgium, one study found that 32% of the assisted deaths were done without request."

      "Euthanasia in the Netherlands has been extended to psychiatric conditions. In 2013, euthanasia for psychiatric reasons occurred 45 times."

      "A study from Switzerland found that in 16% of the assisted suicide deaths, the person who died had no physical illness."

      • That has long been my arguement. I have seen far too.many families that would instantly hurry Mom and Dad to n their reward, either for inheritance, or just to get v rid of the Bird n of caring for them.

  • The place is becoming more and more like Denmark every day. Just wait until they make just about every form of drug abuse legal.

    • About half of Kalifornia is stoned at any given time, that includes the members of the assembly, their drug of choice is alcohol given the number that get arrested for DUI. Prostitution is rampant, and criminals get to vote now...we have passed Denmark and are entering the twilight zone....

    • Maybe we can convince them that they can all get a ride on a passing comet, buy them all new tennis shoes, give them a role of quarters and then let them do themselves in....

      • It would be better if we just gave them IOUs for the roll of quarters, then we wouldn't be out anything in the end.

        • You mean like what they paid vendors with in the past when they were "dead Broke"...and couldn't screw the citizens for more money?
