"Progressives" worship death and California is sinking ever deeper into a immoral morass.
Zitat(CNSNews.com) – Beginning Thursday, a controversial law takes effect in California, which allows terminally ill patients to legally end their life with medical assistance.
The “End of Life Option Act” was signed into law last fall by Gov. Jerry Brown.
“Based on the experience with similar laws in other states, less than 1 percent of terminally ill Californians will need to utilize medical aid in dying,” Matt Whitaker, California state director for Compassion & Choices, a group that sponsored the law, said in a statement on Wednesday.
“But simply having the option gives them peace of mind that often has a palliative effect. This law is spurring open, honest conversations among California families about end-of-life care options that were not taking place before,” Whitaker added.
The assisted suicide law gained traction after 29-year-old Brittany Maynard moved to Oregon from California to end her life in November 2014. She was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and documented her final weeks with videos posted online, where she said she should have been legally allowed to get doctor-prescribed lethal drugs to end her life in California, the Associated Press reported.
“The end-of-life option that Brittany supported will now become law in our home state of California on June 9th. This means a terminally ill individual will not have to leave home like we did and that individual can pursue this option of a gentle passing if it becomes necessary for them,” Dan Diaz, Maynard’s widowed husband, said.
If you want to see where sh*t like this can lead, read Lifson's "The Nazi Doctors". The first step is already occurring in Europe where assisted suicide has been in place in several countries for a while. That step is the DOCTORS deciding who needs an assist, whether the patient wants it or not.
