A ‘death with dignity’ bill package introduced in the Michigan Senate last week would allow people with less than six months to live to request a prescription for life-ending medication.
  • Michigan Senate Democrats propose bills legalizing physician-assisted death for terminally ill patients
  • The concept, legalized in 10 states and Washington, D.C., remains controversial
  • Supporters say it gives terminally ill patients more autonomy. Critics argue it’s ‘not the compassionate answer’

    I hope they are able to implement this not just in Michigan but all across the board. I’m not saying suicide is good, but if I were terminally I’ll and unable to afford treatment I’d definitely want to go through medically assisted suicide because that, to me, is a lot more humane and compassionate than squeezing every single penny out of a person or not getting treatment at all and slowly withering away.
