"Death with Dignity" to be introduced in NY State Senate.

As people who read this blog understand, this was very predictable. Assisted suicide & euthansia fit in with the general consistent ethic of death of these people. After all "whose body is it", "pro-choice", etc.

The verbal engineering is sickening. And here's a sad poll on this issue from this past October, which we posted. Rasmussen poll: By 2 to 1, Americans favor euthanasia/assisted suicide

"Death with Dignity" AKA assisted suicide/euthanasia will be introduced in the NY State Senate by two "progressive" Democrat State Senators. Eventually, the "right" will become an unspoken duty ... After all, caring for people at the end of life chews up vast amounts of medical resources. Death Panels, anyone?

“There are only five states in the country that allow for people to make end of life decisions similar to what Oregon does, and New York is not one of them,” State Senator Diane Savino told the Observer.

The senators are working with Compassion and Choices, the advocacy group that published a video of Maynard discussing her choice to move to Oregon and set a date for the end of her life that put her—and the issue of aid in dying legislation—in the spotlight late last year. The group is continuing to lobby on her behalf for similar laws nationwide, along with Maynard’s husband Dan Diaz, who this week gave his first interviews since his wife’s death. Compassion & Choices also lobbied on behalf of another priority of Ms. Savino’s—the medical marijuana law passed last year.

“Compassion & Choices, as Diane proved, is a terrific partner and has a lot of experience in the New York State legislature. That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with Sen. Savino on this issue,” Mr. Hoylman said, also noting Ms. Savino’s ties to leadership as a member of the Democratic Independent Conference.

A very sad beginning for 2015 in New York.

"The Slippery Slope" is exactly what was perdicted when abortion became legal in our state and country. If you do not have respect for the most fragile in the womb, how could you want to protect the elderly? Pray to build such a great culture of LIFE in our state.

Such flowered speech, i.e. compassion, caring and dignity, to hide the sin of taking a human life whether it being of one's own or of another. Since the beginning of time, man has worked towards filling the role of being god-like. Making decisions that are left to God alone.
