Assisted suicide legislation is wrong for Michigan.

The Michigan Senate is preparing to hold a hearing on a package of reckless bills (SBs 678–681) that would legalize physician-assisted suicide in Michigan and could create a nightmare climate for people with long-term illnesses or disabilities.

  • The bills invite bad actors to influence vulnerable people into ending their lives.

  • They also incentivize insurance companies to favor coverage of cheaper, life-ending drugs over life-saving or palliative care.

  • Advocates for these measures routinely work to extend assisted suicide eligibility beyond terminal conditions to include people with physical disabilities, mental illness, or poor financial prospects.

Vulnerable people will die.
