The Nevada Senate passed a bill that would legalize physician-assisted suicide via a pill. The bill narrowly passed with 11 votes in favor and 10 against.
According to the Nevada Senate website, Senate Bill 239"establishes provisions governing the prescribing, dispensing and administering of medication designed to end the life of a patient." The bill narrowly passed with 11 votes in favor and 10 against.The bill outlines the prerequisites needed to go through with the procedure.
The bill justifies itself by stating the procedure is a matter of self-determination and autonomy and argues that terminally ill people may experience"unremitting pain, agonizing discomfort and a sudden, continuing and irreversible reduction in their quality of life" if it is denied to them. Medically assisted suicide is opposed by a plethora of religious organizations. They argue it denigrates the sanctity of life.One of the bill's sponsors, state Sen. Edgar Flores, retweeted praise for the bill and described it as a"compassionate care option" that was"supported by a majority of Nevadans."
