• HB 160 legalizes assisted suicide and euthanasia as those terms are traditionally defined.
• The bill applies to people with years or decades to live.
• Assisting persons can have their own agendas: an adult child wanting an inheritance; a financial predator seeking financial gain; or a doctor wanting to hide malpractice.
• Assisting persons are allowed to communicate for the patient during the lethal dose request process.
• Administration of the lethal dose is allowed to occur in private without a doctor or witness present. If the patient objected or even struggled, who would know?
• The bill says that the death certificate “must” list a terminal illness as the cause of death. This will prevent prosecution for murder, no matter what the facts.
• The bill, if enacted, will create the perfect crime.
• The bill merely requires that actions be taken in “accordance” with its provisions. Actual compliance is not required.
• The bill is based on a similar law in Oregon. In Oregon, even law enforcement has no access to data collected by the state regarding individual deaths. There is a near complete lack of transparency.
