RESPECT LIFE CORNER - ASSISTED SUICIDE 6 PART SERIES

Part 3: Assisted Suicide Incentivizes Denying Treatment

 Insurance companies have turned down coverage for cancer treatment but offered to pay for suicide drugs instead. Furthermore, the disabled community already faces demoralization and oppression in seeking adequate medical care. Assisted suicide encourages this kind of prejudice. Access Living, Progress Center for Independent Living and the National Council on Disability oppose assisted suicide. People need quality medical care and treatment, not assisted suicide. Tell your state legislators to Vote NO on SB 3499 assisted suicide. Visit www.ilcatholic.org for additional information and resources.
