Medically Assisted Suicide Bill Moves Forward

Law Makers have addressed the assisted suicide bill for the last four years and this year the bill is making progress in Annapolis. Some think this is a slippery slope we are heading down; others think it's the right path for those terminally ill. “This is a very emotional and personal decision,” said Delegate Shane Pendergrass, the sponsor of the bill, about the debate that carried a lot of emotion and personal experiences. “Suicide is a crisis today and what I'm saying to you is with this bill we just make the situation worse,” said Delegate Christopher Adams, a Republican who represents communities on the Eastern Shore.
