The bill under consideration in the Nevada Legislature would allow doctors to administer lethal drugs to terminally ill patients. It contains minimal safeguards against coercion. Far-left activists are attempting to portray assisted suicide as compassionate. But there is nothing compassionate about a doctor, whose job is to heal people and care for them in death, forcing a patient’s death. Even the liberal American Medical Association still holds the position that physician-assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.” And as we are seeing in other states and Canada, ill patients are often goaded into assisted suicide to save money. In California, a patient with cancer was recently denied chemotherapy by her insurance but offered suicide pills for a dollar.
A similar bill was passed by the Nevada legislature by one vote in 2023, but courageously vetoed by Gov. Joe Lombardo. We hope he is willing to veto it again, but we want to stop the bill before it even reaches his desk.
