Aging with Dignity has uncovered the story of Eileen Mihich who was a lonely 31 year-old woman who fraudulently received a lethal assisted suicide poison cocktail even though she:
- She suffered from serious mental illness
- She was not a Washington resident
- No doctor verified she was terminally ill
- No waiting period was enforced
Eileen's story proves that there is no real oversight of the law. Eileen forged documents by claiming that she was a doctor and by claiming that she had stage 4 cancer.
The story of Eileen Mihich shows us how little oversight exists in the assisted suicide law. It also asks the big question, how did Eileen receive the lethal poison that killed her?

Thank you for posting this, Alex. I was Eileen's aunt and I am moved that her story is getting the attention that it so deserved.
Deep condolences. Such a sad and tragic story.
Makes me want to cry. -- Thomas Lester
Thou shall not kill !
Condolences to you, this is heartbreaking what the state of Washington did to your niece I will be praying đ for you and for your niece and an end to euthanasia
So very sorry for your loss, Eileen's aunt. I have children who struggle with depression and anxiety. It is deeply concerning that instead of recieving the assistance she needed, that Eileen was able to access lethal medications the way she did. While sharing cannot bring Elieen back, I hope her story can make a difference in helping others.
There has to be better accountability for such mistakes as these. At least France has imprisoned a physician/anesthetist for fraudulent killing of patients whom he used to show colleagues he was a "hero". He got life. We need to see more like this in a medical profession that has gone awry.
The video shows that one can objectively verify that a second doctor was not consulted (and would be shocking to think the first doctor would think it fine for the patient, even if she were a medical doctor as she claimed, would be acceptable), and that the drugs were prescribed prior to the required waiting period, so didn’t the doctor commit a crime? If “MAiD” is a carve-out exception to accomplice to murder laws, acceptable because of its “safeguards”, then the doctor acted outside “MAiD”. Shouldn’t the doctor be arrested and prosecuted under those laws? Otherwise, “MAiD” is no carve-out at all and the “safeguards” are meaningless. It simply legalizes clinicians assisting suicides.
This Story Is So Sad And Heartbreaking!!! I AM DISTURBED AT HOW "PROFESSIONALS" Whether Medical Or Pharmacists Or Government, etc... ARE SO CARELESS WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES, SO EVIL AS TO QUICKLY AND WITHOUT CONSCIENCE WORK IN A MANNER THEY KNOW WILL END SOMEONE'S LIFE WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND PROPERLY "HELPING" PEOPLE WHO ARE IN A BAD STATE AT ALL!!! FOR WHAT REASON DID ALL THESE PEOPLE AND GROUPS INVOLVE "FAST-TRACK" A "PREMATURE DEATH" THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL EVEN IF SOMEONE IS TERMINALLY ILL WITH STAGE 4 CANCER TO PROVIDE "MEDICATIONS TO END THEIR LIFE" WHEN THEY SIMPLY CAN PROVIDE "MEDICATIONS TO HELP THEM 'LIVE' WITH THEIR SUFFERING", EVEN TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS CAN BE PROVIDED MEDICATIONS TO HELP THEM LIVE UNTIL THEIR NATURAL DEATH SO AS TO AVOID "SUFFERING" INSTEAD OF SIMPLY TERMINATING THEM!!! THESE PEOPLE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES NEED THE GOVERNMENT AND HEALTH WORKERS TO HELP THEM LIVE WITH ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE NOT SIMPLY KILL THEM!!! THAT IS INSANE AND UNBELIEVABLE!!! AND THIS YOUNG LADY HERE, COULDN'T WHOEVER PROVIDED HER THE MEDICATIONS HAVE SIMPLY SAID TO HER THAT THEY CAN AND WILL PROVIDE MEDICATIONS TO HELP HER "LIVE" BASED ON WHAT SHE REQUIRES AND CONSULTING WITH HER AND A DOCTOR LIVE TOGETHER TO BE PROPER AND RESPONSIBLE AND NORMAL!!! WHAT IS THIS??? THIS IS GOING TO FAR AND INSANE!!! WHY SHOULD ANY PERSON, FAMILY, OR FRIENDS EVER HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL OF THIS EVIL AND HELL FOR NO REASON??? THIS IS ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AT IT'S WORST!!! HUMAN RIGHTS MEAN HELPING PEOPLE LIVE IN HUMANE MANNERS NOT HOMICIDE!!!
Mental illness itself makes a person less liable for their actions. It puts into question any physician who is offering a mentally ill patient euthanasia. I think we will see more lawsuits in the future. At least I hope.
YES HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS NEED TO STEP UP AND FILE LAWSUITS AGAINST GOVERNMENT, HEALTH CARE WORKERS, AND ITS ABUSIVE POLICIES AND LAWS OR ELSE NO CHANGES WILL OCCUR AND THAT MEANS SUING AND PUTTING THESE KILLERS IN COURT BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE CAN!!! SO SAD HOW PEOPLE IN POWER IN SOCIETY KEEP ABUSING THEIR OWN POWER IN SUCH EVIL AND CRUEL WAYS!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A STOP TO THIS AND HOPE IT WILL OCCUR SOON BECAUSE I AM DISTURBED AT ALL THE STORIES AND ESPECIALLY "YOUNG WOMEN" BEING KILLED EVERYWHERE!!! IT IS NOT ENOUGH THAT SOCIETY DOES NOT STILL TREAT WOMEN EQUALLY AS THEY ARE STILL SIGNIFICANTLY "UNDER-PAID" IN ALL OCCUPATIONS, AND THEN WE HAVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TOWARDS WOMEN, MANY RELIGIONS PUT FEMALES BELOW EVERYONE ELSE WITH THEIR RULES AND BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS, AND NOW WE HAVE GOVERNMENT AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS OPENLY ABUSING AND KILLING FEMALES WITH MEDICAL HOMICIDE AND POISON AND WE ARE VERY ADVANCED IN HUMANITY AND WITH SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE RIGHT???
This is inaccurate and completely misleading. Be a responsible journalist instead of a sensationalist.
There Is Nothing Inaccurate And Completely Misleading; The Story About The Girl Is True; The Comments Regarding Medications To Help Terminally Ill Live Is True BECAUSE LIFE IS WORTH LIVING WHEN THERE IS ASSISTANCE TO LIVE, The Pharmacists SHOULD Have Consulted With A Physician And Patient LIVE To PROVIDE LIFE ASSISTANCE MEDICATIONS WHETHER FOR PAIN OR ANYTHING ELSE, NOT TERMINATING LIVES!!!
Humans Rights Groups NEED TO STEP UP AND FILE LAWSUITS TO STOP ABUSIVE POLICIES AND LAWS ATTACKING VULNERABLE PEOPLE BECAUSE CLEARLY PEOPLE IN POWER ARE ABUSING THEIR OWN POWER WITH KILLING; KILLING IS EVIL AND CRUEL THAT IS NOT COMPLETELY MISLEADING AND INACCURATE NOR IS IT SENSATION!!! IT IS MOSTLY "YOUNG WOMEN" BEING KILLED EVERYWHERE, AND SOCIETY STILL DOES NOT TREAT WOMEN EQUALLY; WOMEN ARE STILL SIGNIFICANTLY "UNDER-PAID" IN ALL OCCUPATIONS, HIGH PERCENTAGES OF WOMEN STILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, MANY RELIGIONS PUT FEMALES BELOW EVERYONE ELSE WITH THEIR RULES AND BELIEFS AND CUSTOMS, GOVERNMENT AND HEALTH CARE WORKERS OPENLY ABUSE KILLING FEMALES WITH MEDICAL HOMICIDE AND POISON...EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY TRUE AND FACTUAL!!! AND IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO MANIUPULATE ALL THESE TRUTHS!!!
