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. 

Remember to insert the last name(s) of your elected official(s) in the greeting of the email!
