Suicide doses for 63 in 9 months of Wash. law
SEATTLE — The state of Washington says 63 suicide prescriptions were dispensed during the first nine months of the state’s Death with Dignity Act.
The state Department of Health said Thursday the prescriptions for lethal doses of medication were written by 53 doctors and dispensed by 29 pharmacists.
Of the 63 who received lethal doses of prescription medicine between March and December 2009, 47 are known to have died. Thirty-six died after ingesting the medication. Those who died were between the ages of 48 and 95. Nearly all of them lived west of the Cascades. Most had terminal cancer and all were expected to die within six months.

Republicans want these people to have to suffer horrible deaths so the insurance companies, hospitals, and lawyers can get every penny they have, while the democrats, well, besides constant warfare and remaking other nations in America’s money-loving evil image (just like the republicans), God only knows what the democrats believe in; but us libertarians are resolute in our opposition to nation-building, big government, and legislating our belief system upon others who are harming us not.
Life is awesome, but have you ever seen a person suffering during the late stages of cancer? Tis truly often worse than death itself.
Now can us hopelessly indebted, jobless, and soon to be homeless get some death with dignity action?!?!
Praise Jesus
