This handout provides a brief introduction to the physician-assisted suicide (PAS) bills introduced in the Michigan legislature in November 2023; Michigan’s history with assisted suicide; and basic answers to common questions.
This resource highlights six reasons why Michigan residents should oppose physician-assisted suicide and the dangers PAS poses to veterans and those with mental health issues, terminal illness diagnoses, and disabilities.
This resource addresses how physician-assisted suicide could impact communities of color due to increasing healthcare discrimination. It also outlines polls that show what demographics have requested assisted suicide.
This 15-page booklet prepared by Right to Life of Michigan includes important information and a step-by-step durable power of attorney form to help ensure your rights and wishes as a patient are respected.
For more than 25 years, Advocates for Better Care has provided current and future patients in Michigan with the best educational information available on medical ethics and human life. The best medicine always centers on compassion for patients by meeting all their needs: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Today, we call the practice of medicine “health care.” Yet, sadly, some involved in the practice of modern medicine—from direct providers to regulators and elected officials—have come to see killing as a form of care. In the name of human dignity, we commend many in the medical profession who have committed themselves to advancing humane care, including pain and symptom management and hospice. We believe humane care will always result in better outcome for all patients. If you have a question, comment, or would like to inquire about inviting someone to speak about physician-assisted suicide or another patient rights topic, please e-mail to info@bettercaremi.org.
