I think what we really need is a Pilot Program to offer these life ending procedures to Public Servants and Public Employees first. Anything from a Bee Sting to a Broken Bone should qualify. I think a 5 year Program should be enough to further evaluate.

Californianative, when the state declares that assisted suicide is a right the Hippocratic Oath will have as much power as the Constitution does on your personal rights, none! 🙂

As a physician I fully embrace minimizing suffering and endorse hospice care at the end of life. I will provide my patient with anything they need to be comfortable. I am well aware of the concept of ” double effect” but I can not ethically, morally or professionally deliberately assist in ending the life of another human being. Only God ( or fate if you are atheist/agnostic) has that right. Just my two cents as a practicing physician.
