Assisted Suicide Now on the Table in Connecticut

Lawmakers Weigh Pros and Cons

Bill Would Allow Terminally Ill Patients to End Their Lives

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow terminally ill patients to end their lives with the help of a doctor. The bill, which has been introduced by several Democratic lawmakers, would make Connecticut the seventh state in the country to legalize assisted suicide.

The bill has sparked a fierce debate in Connecticut, with proponents arguing that it gives terminally ill patients the right to die with dignity and opponents arguing that it is a dangerous precedent that could lead to abuse.

The bill's supporters say that it is a necessary safeguard for terminally ill patients who are suffering from unbearable pain and who have no other options. They argue that patients should have the right to make their own decisions about their own lives, even if that means ending their lives.

Opponents of the bill say that it is a slippery slope that could lead to the legalization of euthanasia. They argue that it is impossible to create safeguards that will prevent assisted suicide from being abused, and that it could lead to pressure on vulnerable patients to end their lives.

The bill is currently being debated in the Connecticut legislature. It is expected to face a tough fight, as both sides of the issue are well-organized and passionate about their beliefs.
