MICHIGAN EUTHANASIA PROPOSAL TOO EXTREME EVEN FOR KEVORKIAN

Assisted suicide crusader urges opposition to November Ballot Initiative   DETROIT, Oct 19 (LSN) – A Michigan plan to legalize assisted suicide will be on the November 3rd ballot seeking public approval, despite a vigorous fight against it by pro-lifers. Ned McGrath, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit, said that the proposal was “a bad piece of legislation, for a lot of reasons.” Incredibly, the proposed legislation for assisted suicide does not require notification of loved ones, would exempt an oversight committee from outside scrutiny, and would permit medical examiners to falsify death certificates for insurance reasons.  The proposal is considered extreme even by infamous assisted suicide crusader, Jack Kevorkian, who is urging voters to opposed the proposal. “Only the patients, their families, their friends and their physicians have legitimate roles in the practice of patholysis (assisted suicide and euthanasia),”  Kevorkian and his accomplice Georges Reding wrote. “The process must be free from control of politically created, secret inquisitions; from false death certificates; and from the cruelty of stifling bureaucratic red tape.”
