Earlier today, Asm. @KarinesReyes87 (D-Bronx) provided an interview stating her support for physician #AssistedSuicide. The New York Alliance Against Assisted Suicide offered the attached response. https://nosuicideny.org/2021/01/14/nyaaas-responds-to-asm-reyes-assisted-suicide-rationale/

Remember, what begins as a "right to die", soon becomes a "duty to die". Physician assisted suicide changes medicine even for those not seeking an #AssistedSuicide. https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/531575-is-oregons-physician-assisted-suicide-law-affecting-disabled-covid-19

See where #AssistedSuicide leads? "The doctor euthanised woman (74), even though she was resisting... Although the doctor had secretly sedated her, the woman still had to be held down by her son-in-law so that she could be given the lethal injection." https://www.bioedge.org/bioethics/dutch-doctors-cleared-to-euthanise-dementia-patients-who-have-advance-directives/13627?utm_source=BioEdge&utm_campaign=4901b8162b-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_11_22_11_19&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_76ab23e62c-4901b8162b-124728399

Death, rather than COVID-19 isolation. We must do better. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/health/facing-another-retirement-home-lockdown-90-year-old-chooses-medically-assisted-death-1.5197140?fbclid=IwAR3nBV1wh6aLQ0N9BtsC0GPg80I1RrYiGwssdiY3tsUxkDDwNYABvAr8LVk

"New York is considering legalizing assisted suicide, but such a law would threaten the most vulnerable in society: the elderly, the terminally ill and people with disabilities." https://buffalonews.com/opinion/another-voice-assisted-suicide-care-rationing-threaten-the-disabled/article_fbca072c-f448-11ea-b648-8f0ceb1f1503.html
