Physician Assisted Suicide Bill Should Be Deep Sixed
Once again the Hawaii State Legislature has decided to bring up the issue of Physician Assisted Suicide. This year the State House of Representatives has introduced HB 2739 which would allow your doctor, with your consent, to kill you with a lethal dose of medication within a six month period of your pending death.
This bill essentially legalizes murder and offers no respect for the sanctity of human life. The lives of our elderly and sick should not be subjected to such a law. The only thing that needs to be killed is this bill.
HB 2739 is getting a public hearing this coming Tuesday, February 27 at the State Capitol Auditorium starting at 10:30 A.M. Testimony is now being taken online or at the following online site: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/login/login.aspx
It seems the legislature is no longer taking email testimony. To submit testimony using the above link, one must be a registered user of the State Legislature’s website.
An alternate method is to send testimony in by fax: 808 586-6311 or 800-535-3899.
