Executive Director,
Washington State Bill HB 1876 will expand the state assisted suicide law by permitting physician assistants and advanced practice registered nurses to participate in assisting suicide by expanding the definition of "attending qualified medical provider." The bill also permits the "attending qualified medical provider" to waive the 7 day waiting period within the law to enable a same day death.
The assisted suicide lobby is trying to expand assisted suicide laws in Vermont, Oregon and Washington state by expanding who can assist a suicide and to waive the waiting periods.
The good news is that Montana Senate Bill 136
that will reverse Montana's assisted suicide acceptance and once again
prohibit assisted suicide passed in the Montana Senate on February 7 and
will soon be debated in the Montana House. If SB 136 passes, Montana
will be the first state to reverse assisted suicide and prohibit it
again.
On January 30, I published an article concerning Vermont Bill 75 that expands Vermont's assisted suicide law for the third time by allowing (non doctors) naturopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to participate in assisting a suicide.
On February 12, I published an article concerning Oregon Bill SB 1003 that expands Oregon's assisted suicide law for the third time by allowing (non doctors) physician assistants and nurse practitioners to participate in assisting a suicide. SB 1003 also reduces the waiting period from 15 days to 48 hours while enabling the "providing prescriber" to waive the waiting period to essentially allow a same day death.
The assisted suicide lobby is responding to the fact that very few doctors are willing to be involved with killing patients. By adding physician assistants and nurse practitioners they increase the number of providers who are willing to be involved with killing.
The assisted suicide lobby is wanting to eliminate the waiting periods for assisted suicide to enable a "same day death." No need to wait to pick up your lethal poison cocktail, no chance to change your mind.
When the assisted suicide lobby is trying to legalize assisted suicide they sell the "safeguards" in the bill. This is the "bait and switch" sales technique that is used by the assisted suicide lobby.
Once legal, assisted suicide laws inevitably expand (Article Link).
In 2025, assisted suicide legalization bills have already been introduced in Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Tennessee.
The assisted suicide lobby is focusing on Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York.
