Repeal Assisted Suicide Act
The General Assembly,
Recognizing that the Assisted Suicide Act states that euthanasia is controversial and sets up every member nation to determine the legal status of euthanasia,
Believing that many patients under mentally and physically debilitating conditions undergo extreme pain and deserves care,
Understanding that the decision by a patient to end one’s own life under an extreme health condition is a grave matter for the health and emotional well-being of the patient,
Comprehending that nations may have religious and moral reasons against euthanasia and assisted suicide and that the decision making process for patients may be hindered by the mental and emotional pain,
Knowing that while it may not be in the best interests for the person to choose to have euthanasia or assisted suicide because of strong will, the reasoning is weaker than when the person undergoes the emotional trauma and when there is little or no possibility of return from the condition,
Further reasons that a patient to decide to have euthanasia or assisted suicide shows whether the patient shows strength,
Elaborating that the health condition is an intimate matter to the patient and that its reasoning is stronger than shown by religious and moral reasons,
Believing it best that the matter should rest in the hands of the patient involved and not be interfered by the state,
Hereby Repeal Assisted Suicide Act.
