Sanctioning of euthanasia and assisted suicide (as in the Netherlands) has led to increased use of euthanasia without consent, circumvention of the law, and abuse of the vulnerable. Advances in hospice/palliative care and pain management methods are threatened when euthanasia and assisted suicide are sanctioned as a means of relieving pain and suffering. The medical profession need more instruction and the public needs more education, regarding hospice/palliative care and effective pain control. Depression is the most common factor in requests for assisted suicide.  Depression can be diagnosed and treated successfully.  Requests for assisted suicide is a call for help.		Sign Our Petition!
