I. INTRODUCTION
I am an attorney in Washington State where assisted suicide is legal. Our law is based on a similar law in Oregon. Both laws are similar to HB 160, which seeks to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia in Delaware.
HB 160 is stacked against the individual and a recipe for elder abuse. If enacted, it will apply to people with years or decades to live. I urge you to reject this measure.

Nevada Bill: "Assisting Persons Can Have Their Own Agenda"
Margaret Dore |
Margaret Dore, a lawyer in Washington state, said [that the Nevada] bill, SB 261] would have dire consequences. Besides encouraging people who may have years or decades yet to live to give up on life, it does not consider relatives or others who may pressure someone into voluntary suicide for nefarious reasons.
“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,” she said in a statement.
“The bill, if passed, will create he perfect crime,” she said.
