In 2012, the voters of our Commonwealth rejected physician-assisted suicide in a state-wide referendum. In 2022, the Massachusetts Supreme Court refused to find a right to assisted suicide in our Constitution. Nevertheless, the pro-suicide lobby is again pushing HB2246/SB1331, “An Act relative to end of life options,” to legalize assisted suicide in Massachusetts.

We oppose this bill for these reasons:

Physician-assisted suicide invites abuse and creates a slippery slope toward devaluing life. Devaluing life for some means devaluing life for all. Physician-assisted suicide is never necessary and always ends a unique and valuable human life.

Take Action: Email or call your MA legislators and ask them to protect the most vulnerable among us and oppose this dangerous and degrading bill.
