Attention!! A set of House bills, HB 5825-5828, were introduced to legalize assisted su***de in Michigan.
These bills are identical to the set of bills introduced last term in the Senate. The Senate bills did not receive a hearing, but in the interim between the introduction of the Senate bills in 2023 and now, three states have legalized assisted su***de – New York, Illinois, and Delaware. Compassion and Choices, the leading national organization promoting assisted su***de, is active in our state attempting to sway public opinion to accept assisted su***de under the guise of “medical aid in dying” or “death with dignity.” Providing lethal drugs to patients for the purpose of self-inflected death is neither compassionate nor dignified.
We have launched a Voter Voice campaign to assist you in calling or emailing your state legislators to reject these bills and any attempt to legalize assisted su***de in our state. We encourage you to share this with all of your members and volunteers and please put in calls and emails this week. We want to send a loud and clear message to our elected officials that Michigan is a state that protects and provides for vulnerable patients; we don’t abandon the sick, elderly and disabled to assisted su***de.
