Dore Legal Analysis Opposing Bill H 7297

I. INTRODUCTION 

I am an attorney in Washington State where assisted suicide is legal.[1] Our law is based on a similar law in Oregon.[2]  Both laws are similar to the proposed bill, H 7297.[3] H 7297 seeks to legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia as those terms are traditionally defined. If enacted, the bill will apply to people with years to live.  The bill will also apply to older people, especially the elderly. The bill is stacked against the individual and a recipe for elder abuse. I urge you to reject H 7297.
