Implementing Assisted Suicide Bill May Not Be Among Our Priorities

Assisted Suicide bill should not be passed.
Please remember these reps, and call and remind them not to implement the bill.

I suspect one of the main reasons of the bill is to save money in the name of death with dignity, but possibly wanton disregard to human lives, intentionally or unintentionally, (worse evil than anyone could imagine).

(Fyi, the assisted suicide has been already, currently, held and practiced among the patient families privately; and we don’t need extra law to legalize it.)

If passed, I would see among the most affected people may be “poor people on medicaid” who are chronically and/or terminally ill patients.

We should rather focus on improving our mental and emotional health, especially of those who may be implementing and/or performing the bill, e.g. government officials including lawmakers, hospital and its administrators, insurance and related people, healthcare providers including doctors and nurses.

If we still want to pursue the bill, we may need to prioritize and do the thorough vetting process, first. Once the complete vetting process (and education) are done, then we can implement it.

But, at our current (general) emotional and mental status, we may rather need to focus on our (esp. those who are related to performing the prospective bill) emotional improvement and growth, first.

Simply, impementing the law may not be among our priorities; but, improving our emotional health may be more urgent and important, at this time.

Aloha.
