Doctor Prescribed Suicide – Next Tuesday



 

The Hemlock Society, now known as "Compassion and Choices" collected the required signatures to place their initiative petition on the ballot next November. As part of the process, the question, H 3884, will have a hearing:    

 

Judiciary Committee

MA State House

Room A2

Tuesday, March 6 at 1:00PM 

 


The hearing gives us a chance to organize, prepare our arguments for testimony, convince some legislators, and hear what the proponents think are their best arguments.

 

Please plan to attend the hearing and to testify if you can. Bring a written copy of your testimony. If you cannot attend, please submit your testimony by email to House Chair Eugene O'Flaherty, Gene.O'Flaherty@mahouse.gov

 

These websites are very helpful in preparing testimony: http://stopassistedsuicide-ma.com/, http://doctorsagainstsuicide.com/, http://www.patientsrightscouncil.org/site/.    

 

We also have for loan at the MCFL office Wesley Smith's book on pain control and many copies of Brian Johnston's Death As A Salesman, both of which are worth checking.
