excerpt from CE article: Tomorrow in the New Hampshire legislature House Bill 304 will be heard. The description of what this bill will do, if it is enacted in the state, defies anything that remotely resembles common sense, so let me simply list what we received from <http://www.nhrtl.org/>New Hampshire Right to Life in their alert: * This act, among other things, will give government health programs, managed care programs and others the opportunity to cut health care costs by encouraging vulnerable patients to request assisted suicide. * It permits doctors to prescribe assisted suicide drugs for individuals who might have a long life expectancy. * It lets greedy heirs, exhausted caregivers, or uncaring health care providers and their friends serve as witnesses for a patient’s written assisted suicide request. * Permits doctors to prescribe assisted suicide drugs to patients who are not NH residents. * Lets doctors help depressed or mentally ill patients commit suicide without providing any type of counseling or psychological evaluation. * Lets doctors help patient commit suicide even after the patient is found to have impaired judgment. * Lets a doctor write an assisted suicide prescription for a patient without seeing the patient in person after a diagnosis of a terminal condition is made. * Allows drugs for suicide to be sent to the patent by mail or courier. * Forces hospitals, nursing homes and other care facilities to allow doctors to prescribe lethal drugs or otherwise participate in patients’ assisted suicide deaths on the premises. * Has no safeguards for the patient at the time the drug overdose is taken. * Has no provisions to investigate inaccurate, incomplete and misleading reports or to investigate abuse surrounding assisted suicide deaths. full article: <http://catholicexchange.com/2009/02/20/116123/>http://catholicexchange.com/2009/02/20/116123/ St. Paul, pray for us. "If we wish to make any progress in the service of God we must begin every day of our life with new eagerness. We must keep ourselves in the presence of God as much as possible and have no other view or end in all our actions but the divine honor."
