T<\/span>he Nevada<\/a> Senate passed a bill that would legalize physician-assisted suicide<\/a> via a pill. <\/p>\n

According to the Nevada Senate website, Senate Bill 239<\/a> “establishes provisions governing the prescribing, dispensing and administering of medication designed to end the life of a patient.<\/a>” The bill narrowly passed<\/a> with 11 votes in favor and 10 against. <\/p>\n

The bill outlines the prerequisites needed to go through with the procedure. <\/p>\n

Qualifying patients must be 18 years or older, be diagnosed with a terminal condition by at least two practitioners, be mentally capable of making such a decision, not be coerced, have made two verbal requests and one written request signed by a witness, and a patient must be properly informed of the decision, among other conditions. <\/p>\n

The bill justifies itself by stating the procedure is a matter of self-determination and autonomy and argues that terminally ill people may experience “unremitting pain, agonizing discomfort and a sudden, continuing and irreversible reduction in their quality of life” if it is denied to them. <\/p>\n

“It is important that patients have the full range of options for their care, especially at the end of their lives,” it read. <\/p>\n

Medically assisted suicide is opposed by a plethora of religious organizations. They argue it denigrates the sanctity of life. <\/p>\n

One of the bill’s sponsors, state Sen. Edgar Flores, retweeted praise for the bill and described it as a “compassionate care option” that was “supported by a majority of Nevadans.” <\/p>\n

The bill will now be sent to the House for a vote. Currently, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and the District of Columbia allow for assisted suicide. The option is available if approved by court order in Montana and California.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
