Assisted Suicde Battle is NOT Over!

October 8, 2015 by Brian Johnston

 

Assisted Suicide: Three Month Window for Challenge

 

The rules of a California Legislative Extraordinary Session state that even after the Governor has signed a bill, it cannot immediately go into effect, but await the closure of Session. This has disappointed the Hemlock, “Choices’ advocates, who want to begin killing with kindness immediately.California Law also provides that when there is any substantive change in the law, normal citizens are still given an opportunity to themselves VETO the measure (as the laws belong to them). If filed, this process allows for what is called a VETO REFERENDUM that extends for 90 days after a Governor’s signature, to allow citizens to gather signatures.

Seniors Against Suicide, a member of the Californians Against Suicide Coalition, upon the Governor’s signature immediately filed to avail of this VETO referendum process.
Seniors Against Suicide filing statement appears below.

TOGETHER.
WE’RE
SAVING LIVES.

   Dear Sir or Madam,
   I do hereby submit a request a title and summary for the   purposes   of referring AB X 2 -15, signed by Governor Brown on Oct 5. The chaptered bill’s language is attached.
I represent Seniors Against Suicide, an organization working with other opponents of medically killing depressed and ill patients.
I am also attaching signed certifications of the appropriate election code requirements.
Thank you for your kind and speedy attention to this matter,
  Sincerely,
  Mark Hoffman, PhD.

  Spokesman, Seniors Against Suicide

More Pending Actions

In addition to the pending VETO REFERENDUM, we are aware that legal counsel is examining the questionable aspects of the bill as enacted.
This battle is by no means over.
In the meantime, we have assembled one of the most diverse coalitions culturally and even linguistically, that California has yet seen.
Regardless of opposition, the message of Life is at the core of  the message of civilization. “Compassion” literally means ‘to bear or share another’s burden.’ When instead of comforting with both pain management and emotional counseling, we simply terminate a needy patient, society is not ‘sharing their burden’ or in any way elevating them, but reducing them to the level of a pet or other domestic animal.
     It takes nothing to speak.. it costs everything to be silent.

A teenage girl in 1818 could tell you this was coming…

July 30, 2015 by Brian Johnston

Should 'medicine' be free to use humans as it wishes?

Should ‘medicine’ be free to use humans as it wishes?

Mary Shelley, still in her teens, was challenged by her friends to write a scary story. Yes, she won the bet. (A promising sign, when your competitor/friends are Lord Byron and Percy Shelley!) Her book depicted what would happen to medical ethics if it was blindly and blithely seen as a tool of the industrial revolution: Scientism. It is the ethical idea that if something could technically be done using scientific tools then it ‘should be done’. Scientism is the belief that science creates its own ethical rules.

Her book, “Frankenstein” riveted the Western world and continues to echo in this day. The recent revelation of Planned Parenthood’s ‘production’ of human organs on demand (‘Livers? Oh, Yes; get lots of orders for livers, and hearts and lungs.’)

For some reason the Director of Medical Services for PP felt she needed to admit that intact brains are a bit tougher. They have to crush the skull you know.

But somethings just never change. Everyone remembers it was Fredric Frankenstein, the Doctor who was the real perpetrator, the ethical monster. And even he had procurement challenges.. “A brain.. Igor. I still need a brain”.

PP and the abortion industry at-large are handsomely funded by the government, and particularly here in California by the state government. The state in many ways serves the abortion industry, and not its actual citizens or their values.

We will not soon ‘change the mind’ of  perpetrators like PP’s ‘physicians’ or other Dr. Fredric Frankensteins. But there are those who facilitate, who help, who co-ordinate with resources, (and by resources I mean our tax money); like the State of California, PP’s favorite “Igor”. Well according to the state constitution, the state is supposed to be working for us, its citizens, not the blood crazed who hide behind a ‘false science’ those who kill on request via ‘medicine’, who sell the human organs, ‘for science’.

 

Government helping, facilitating, serving such twisted science is the improper place of government.

We must stop the government funding of such evil enterprises.

No Igor. You are not to do such things.  You work for us.

Media Pushing Death Bill – It Is Moving

March 28, 2015 by Brian Johnston

Because of the high risk of encouraging suicide amongst the vulnerable, international media ethics prescribe careful guidelines for coverage of every suicide. Of  particular import: the instructions not to sensationalize or romaticize the suicidal act, not to offer the ‘justifying reasons’ or publish the suicide note or statements of the individual killed. All of that is now out the window in California.

Billionaire and culture-warrior, George Soros has given millions to ‘Compassion and Choices’ (C&C) to help them influence culture, then pass and implement assisted suicide laws across the nation.th_014

The tragedy of a young California woman, Brittany Maynard, is the principle vehicle used by C&C (formerly known as the Hemlock Society) to carry this message of ‘compassionate’ killing. Simultaneous stories in People Magazine, and in every newspaper in the nation announced her ‘declaration’ to take her own life on November 1st, 2014.

Many individuals have faced illnesses similar to Brittany’s brain cancer, and lived for years.  Amazingly, the day prior to “D Day” Nov 1, Brittany announced that she too would like to put it off a bit longer. Something or someone influenced Brittany to ‘get back on schedule’ and she did indeed die of poisoning on Nov 1.

 While supposedly ‘private’, this was one of the most public ‘self-killings’ of recent times.

It was clear then and even clearer on Weds. March 25th, that many others were directly involved in both Brittany’s care and and the promulgation of her final decision. A Compassion in Choices media team had recorded numerous videos of Brittany, her husband and parents as they  emotionally agitated for a change in California law. These video pleas and personal testimony were repeated for California’s Senate Committee on Health and hundreds of proponents and opponents lined up to state their position.

But the mediagenic nature of Brittany’s lethal decision was clearly front and center.

The California Senate Health Committee, after watching Brittany’s ‘good by’ video and hearing emotional testimony by those who seek to remove the law against third-party involvement in suicide (“assisting suicide”) as well as considerable countervailing documentation of killing of the non-terminal, doctor shopping and manipulated suicide by heirs, voted SB 128 out and on to the Judiciary Committee.

It is expected to be heard in Senate Judiciary in April.

Here is the Senate Health Committee membership with links.

Please let your Senator know of your care or concern for their vote.

Senators Richard Roth, Wolk, Hernandez, Hall, Mitchell and Monning  supported suicide

Senators Nielsen and Nguyen opposed.

Senator Pan abstained.

Assisted suicide being voted on in Sacramento!

March 14, 2015 by Brian Johnston

Assisted suicide being voted on in Sacramento!
 
The medically dependent who are depressed will be at immediate risk of their lives! In Oregon and in other jurisdictions it has proven impossible to restrict this practice to ‘just certain’ ill patients. The medically dependent such as Alzheimer’s patients; the depressed disabled; and other non-terminal have all been killed under ‘assisted suicide’ regimes.
 
You can find some “dangers of assisted suicide” talking points here:
