    Right-to-Die Trial: Judge approves physician aid-in-dying

    A district court judge ruled Monday that doctors will not be prosecuted for helping terminally ill patients end their lives.

    New Mexico is now the fifth state in the nation to allow physician aid-in-dying, which allows doctors to prescribe pills that would speed up and ease the dying process.

    The case was brought by a doctor and patient who sued the state for the right. Assisting with ѕυιcιdє is a fourth degree felony in the state, but an Albuquerque doctor argued that "physician aid-in-dying" is not the same thing as "assisted ѕυιcιdє."

    The state had previously argued in district court that a judge shouldn't be the one to legalize aid in dying. They said if anyone was going to change New Mexico's rules on the issue, it should be lawmakers

  • New Mexico sounds like another place to not go to.

  • This is an evil sin.

    Already it's being compared to compassion and wrongly confused with being on machines to feed and breathe. There's a BIG difference between saying to "pull the plug" on a patient who could not live without direct machine assistance and one who wants a "dignified death" to avoid pain and quality of live issues.

    Ironically, the last action of so called dignity would be to commit a mortal sin. dignity of hell indeed.

    I've also heard it compared to how animals are put down. Because of course in these days people elevate animals to humans. People are NOT animals.

    Another step closer to hell for the American society.  :applause:
