West Virginia voters to decide on medically assisted suicide prohibition in constitution

[RandySF]

During the general election, West Virginians will decide whether the state constitution should prohibit physicians and other health care providers from helping a patient die.

Medically assisted suicide is already illegal in the state. Amendment 1 would enshrine a “protection against medically assisted suicide” into the state’s constitution.

The amendment reads: “No person, physician, or health care provider in the State of West Virginia shall participate in the practice of medically assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing of a person.”

Voting yes on the amendment would be a vote in favor of adding those words to the constitution.

1. I sincerely hope every single person who votes in favor of that bill

winds up dying in agonizing pain, begging for relief, and being told, "No."

2. Fixed it for ya...

" I sincerely hope every single person who votes in favor of that bill
winds up dying living in agonizing pain, begging for relief, and being told, "No."

3. This is just sick...

We really, really need to eridicate the republican party and any residual rightwing ideology from our country.
