  • State that Physicians need to uphold their promise to “Do No Harm.”

  • State that if euthanasia or assisted suicide is legalized that physicians must maintain their right of conscience to refuse to participate in any way.

  • Emphasize that you would not feel safe if your physician participates in euthanasia or assisted suicide.

  • Talking points, a link to some excellent articles.
