Connecticut assisted suicide Bill HB 6425 died today. It dies along with the other previous bills that have been debated every year since 2013. Other than reading articles from the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition or other similar groups, you will not hear about the death of the Connecticut bill.

Connecticut remains a special place with the disability rights group, Second Thoughts Connecticut, the Family Institute of Connecticut, and several other groups, who may disagree on many issues but can work together to oppose assisted suicide.

1.  The Bill

The proposed bill, "An Act Concerning Aid in Dying for the Terminally Ill," seeks   to legalize “aid in dying,” which is a euphemism for active euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.[1]
