U.S. Congress Again Considers Opposing MAID

This week, Congress introduced a resolution opposing MAID: 

"That it is the sense of Congress that the Federal Government should ensure that every person facing the end of their life has access to the best quality and comprehensive medical care, including palliative, in-home, or hospice care, tailored to their needs and that the Federal Government should not adopt or endorse policies or practices that support, encourage, or facilitate suicide or assisted suicide, whether by physicians or others."

The Resolution is preceded by 23 Whereas clauses. Many are inaccurate and not evidence-based. While the remainder accurate statements, they are irrelevant to the safety of MAID.
