Other Countries Are Warning The USA Not To Normalize Assisted Suicide Before It's Too Late
A new bill proposed by Democratic lawmakers seeks to permit the use of federal funds for "medical-aid-in-dying," also referred to as assisted suicide. Although many Americans are against using tax dollars for this purpose, activists from other countries are cautioning against the practice entirely.
Since Oregon became the first state to legalize physician-assisted death 30 years ago, Congress has prevented federal funding from being used to pay for the practice by passing the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act, which expressly prohibits using taxpayers’ money to fund practices “assisting in the suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing of any individual.” However, a new bill proposed by Democrats could change that by renaming the practice “medical aid-in-dying” and labeling it an “authorized medical practice.”
