| Someone get Senator Greg Hinkle a chalkboard. In his elaborate proof that physician aid in dying is the same thing as euthanasia, he has to dig up 30 year old law school papers and a failed bill from 20 years ago, both of which come from other states. All of this is to advance his bill to criminalize a physician giving an individual pharmaceuticals they want in order to self-administer and end their own life on their own terms.
Here's what we might call the nut graf (it's a double entendre): More recently, the Montana Supreme Court gave doctors who participate in aid in dying a potential defense to criminal prosecution. When doing so, the Court described aid in dying in terms of a doctor providing the means for a patient's death, but not directly participating in that death. This is physician-assisted suicide, not euthanasia. But how long will that distinction be remembered? The term "aid in dying" also means euthanasia. (Emphasis added.) The Supreme Court merely ruled that there is currently no law against physician aid in dying. There is a law against euthanasia. In addition to being called "aid in dying," euthanasia is called "homicide."
Senator Hinkle also provides a single link to prove that aid-in-dying laws are "a recipe for abuse." That link is to an article that has absolutely no data about any indication of abuse in Washington or Oregon. It is simply meaningless speculation.
In his defense, though, he is clearly just not very smart. |
