Michigan Democrats eye legalizing physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill | Bridge Michigan

A ‘death with dignity’ bill package introduced in the Michigan Senate last week would allow people with less than six months to live to request a prescription for life-ending medication.
  • Michigan Senate Democrats propose bills legalizing physician-assisted death for terminally ill patients
  • The concept, legalized in 10 states and Washington, D.C., remains controversial
  • Supporters say it gives terminally ill patients more autonomy. Critics argue it’s ‘not the compassionate answer’

      I’m pretty sure it’s the doctor’s choice whether or not to assist in a suicide.

        The point they are making though is that this should be the patients choice.

          Why should any medical procedure a doctor does be the patient’s choice? I don’t think doctors should be forced to perform procedures they don’t want to perform. Why should a doctor be forced to kill a patient that wants to die?

            They aren’t saying doctors should be forced to do anything, they are saying if they want a assisted suicide that a physician can legally help.
