Should Massachusetts Allow Assisted Suicide?
It's one question voters will weigh in November.
Should terminally ill patients be allowed to be given a lethal drugs at their request?
That's one question Massachusetts voters will be expected to consider when the hit the voting booth in November. The initiative, called "Death with Dignity," received enough signatures to be placed on the ballot in November, according to the state's attorney general.
The proposal in Massachusetts would allow individuals who have been diagnosed with an illness that will cause death within six months to obtain medication to self-administer to end their life.
If passed, Massachusetts would join Oregon, Washington and Montana as the only states that allow assisted suicide.

It's the churches who have interjected themselves into this situation for their own ends. Do you really think that God put you on this earth to suffer pain and indignity the last few months of life? Just because techology and knowledge allows doctors to keep you alive long past your due date doesn't make it right!
