New Jersey: Stop Assisted Suicide Legislation

From the New Jersey Catholic Conference:  Oppose A-3328 and S-2259

A-3328 -- a bill authorizing assisted suicide -- has been released by the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee. S-2259, an identical bill, has been referred to the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Services Committee. These bills would allow a person who has a "terminal disease" to request a prescription from a physician for lethal drugs that would end their life. "Terminal disease" is defined as "an incurable and irreversible disease that has been medically confirmed and will, within reasonable medical judgment, result in a patient's death."  The New Jersey Catholic Conference invites us to oppose A-3328/S-2259.  Click here to send a message to your elected officials indicating your opposition to assisted suicide in New Jersey.
