**Jewish End-of-Life Activists Sue New York Over Law Barring Doctor-Aided Suicide** https://forward.com/fast-forward/214142/jewish-end-of-life-activists-sue-new-york-over-law/
A group of doctors and patients, some terminally ill, on Wednesday asked a New York court to rule that doctor-assisted suicide is not against state law.
The lawsuit, filed against New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in Manhattan Supreme Court, claimed that a New York law making it a crime to cause or aid another person to commit suicide does not apply to doctors who prescribe fatal drugs to mentally competent, terminally ill patients who ask for them.
Three of the doctors in the case – Timothy Quill, Samuel Klagsbrun and Howard Grossman – were also plaintiffs in a 1997 case before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the New York assisted-suicide law under the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled against them. All three have been prominent advocates for doctor-assisted suicide, which advocates prefer to call aid-in dying.
One of the patients in the lawsuit, Eric Seiff, 81, is a former Manhattan assistant district attorney who is being treated for cancer.
Seiff is not currently terminally ill, but the other two patients are. Sara Myers, 60, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, and Steve Goldenberg, 55, has multiple HIV-related illnesses. Both told a news conference that they do not yet want to die but want to have the choice in the future.
Nurse and end-of life consultant Judith Schwarz, Charles Thornton, a Rochester, New York, neurologist, and non-profit End of Life Choices New York are also plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs say in the lawsuit that the state’s law against assisted suicide was never meant to apply to doctors helping mentally competent, terminally ill patients. They said helping such patients die was not assisted suicide but rather akin to withdrawing a patient from a ventilator.
Even if the law was meant to prohibit doctor-assisted suicide, they said, the court should rule that enforcing it violates patients’ due process and equal protection rights under the state Constitution.
Besides Schneiderman, the lawsuit named the district attorneys of Westchester, Monroe, Saratoga, Bronx and New York counties, where the plaintiffs live or practice medicine.
Schneiderman’s spokeswoman, Elizabeth DeBold, declined to comment.
Oregon, Washington and Vermont are currently the only states with laws explicitly allowing doctor-assisted suicide, and California’s legislature is considering a similar law. A New Mexico judge has ruled in favor of doctor-assisted suicide, though the ruling is being appealed.

But thought we could make this a group project.
Assisted suicide is a new sort of tyranny that has been spreading and as you can see in this map they are obviously targeting White Nations to make White people depressed and convince them to suicide themselves.
They set themselves up as non profits and lobby groups. The non profits go by names such as DIGNITY IN DEATH or DIGNITY IN DYING. You will find many organizations and books by these names or variations of it. Again satan manipulates you here. Satan tells you that sodomy is PRIDE or to have GAY PRIDE just like satan tells you that killing yourself is "Going out with DIGNITY" when it is not. But notice the wording satan uses to manipulate people into committing sin.
Researching this is a very dark rabbit hole that leads to sicko jews and satanists. So please pray before you research this and prepare to find some very sick, sad, depressing stories that will make you sad or very angry.

Role of non-governmental organisations in physician assisted suicide
>The legalisation of assisted suicide and the extent of doctors' involvement in the practice continue to generate heated debate within the medical, political, and religious communities. Historically, the discussion was strongly influenced by the Dutch model that permitted a doctor actively to hasten the death of a suffering patient.1 By the 1990s, however, an alternative model had emerged—physician assisted suicide. This increases patient control by enabling self administration of drugs and limits the doctors' role to assessment and prescribing while involving non-physicians and non-governmental organisations in the dying process.1 2 3 4 5
>Assisted suicide in Switzerland and the US (Oregon) accounts for less than 1% of all deaths (0.36% in Switzerland and 0.12% in Oregon).3 12 Most assisted suicides in both countries are facilitated through private non-profit organisations (92% and 75%, respectively).5 12 Exit is the largest Swiss organisation with independent offices in Zurich (www.exit.ch) and Geneva( www.exit-geneve.ch),2 13 and Compassion and Choices is the biggest in the US (www.compassionandchoices.org). Both are private, charitable organisations with around 50 000 members. Dignitas, a smaller Swiss non-profit organisation has gained notoriety by helping residents of Germany, the UK, and other countries.5 Although there are other right to die organisations throughout the world,14 we have concentrated on these two organisations as prototypes for societies who lawfully facilitate physician assisted suicide.2 13
>Compassion and Choices was formed by a recent merger between Compassion in Dying (Portland, Oregon) and End-of-Life Choices of Denver, Colorado (formerly The Hemlock Society). It is treated as a tax exempt organisation, and its purpose is to support, educate, advocate, and litigate for improvements in end of life care and end of life choices (including, but not limited to, advance directives, pain relief, and physician assisted suicide). Membership is not required to receive services, and the organisation is funded through private donations. It has a team of trained counsellors who screen calls for assistance in all US states except Oregon, Washington, and New York (which have independent and self supporting affiliates). We have limited our discussion to physician assisted suicide in Oregon provided under Oregon's Death with Dignity Act.15
