Oregon passes made medically assisted suicide legal in 1998. That year, 16 individuals took their lives with the help of medical professionals. In 2022, that number was 278. 2022 is the year they approved suicide tourism.
To paraphrase Barry Obama on a different subject (electricity rates), “Those numbers would necessarily skyrocket.” They will. We’ve seen it everywhere that governments normalize suicide. Encourages might be the better word while broadening the scope of their growing army of state-employed therapists can consider reasonable grounds to shuffle off your mortal coil, like being a burden.
A burden to the welfare state, including taxpayer-funded health care.
The Oregon Study observed more than just an annual increase in cases of assisted suicide.
Over this time, patients’ health funding status changed from predominantly private (65%) to predominantly government support (79.5%), and there was an increase in patients feeling a burden and describing financial concerns as reasons for choosing an assisted death. There has been a reduction in the length of the physician–patient relationship from 18 weeks in 2010 to 5 weeks in 2022, and the proportion.
Talk about putting Bidenomics in a new light. You become a burden – or are made to feel as if you are- perhaps due to government policy or interference. Fast-tracked from burden to death (In Hawaii, they’ve reduced the waiting period to five days.
And no one seems to be concerned about that. I think they should, and I’ll leave you with this pulled from a previous article on this subject as you ponder that point.
Eugenics is the foundation of the real progressive utopia. If you legalize suicide, the people you deliberately make miserable will solve your problem for you. Instead of you having to kill them, they might kill themselves with the government’s blessing.
Or, you can just make it look that way.
