Former Borough Park State Senator Sponsors Assisted "Suicide" Bill

This bill is not the same bill as the assembly version, which may show that Savino/Hoylman and Linda Rosenthal are not working in conjunction with each other.

Both bill share some of the same evils (besides the overall concept) like allowing 1 of the 2 witnesses (that sign a form that the patient really wants to commit suicide) to be what they consider to be a biased party (relative or hospital worker).  Both bills don't consider someone who works for the patient's medical insurance company to be a biased witness!  Both bills do not mandate under all circumstances a psychological examination

both bills have evils that the other bill doesn't have.

for example in the assembly bill it says this when referring to the witnesses (the witness in this subsection is allowed to be the "non biased" witness) allowing the long term health care facility to appoint both witnesses (the other could be an employ)

4. IF THE PATIENT IS A PATIENT IN A LONG TERM CARE FACILITY AT THE TIME THE WRITTEN REQUEST IS MADE, ONE OF THE WITNESSES SHALL BE AN INDIVIDUAL DESIGNATED BY THE FACILITY.

the senate version of this bill does not have this evil clause.

another example of the assembly bill being worse then the senate bill is that the assembly bill allows the consulting physician to be one of the witnesses 

senate version

  4. NEITHER THE QUALIFIED  INDIVIDUAL'S  ATTENDING  PHYSICIAN  NOR  ANY
CONSULTING  PHYSICIAN  MAY  BE  A  WITNESS  TO  THE SIGNING OF A WRITTEN
REQUEST.

assembly version

3. THE PATIENT'S ATTENDING PHYSICIAN AT THE TIME THE REQUEST IS SIGNED SHALL NOT BE A WITNESS.

an example of the senate version being worse then the assembly version is the senate version forces doctor to falsify the death certificate which Forensic Pathologist in NJ said you [legislators] have taken forensic pathologists out of the picture” in this proposed law process, “so you will never know whether the death was coerced or voluntary” suicide.

the senate bill includes this evil law

2. THE CAUSE OF DEATH LISTED ON A QUALIFIED INDIVIDUAL'S DEATH CERTIFICATE WHO USES AID-IN-DYING MEDICATION WILL BE THE UNDERLYING TERMINAL ILLNESS.

Sen. Diane Savino sponsors bill to allow end-of-life law for terminally ill patients

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Defending what she described as a "basic human right," state Sen. Diane Savino who Borough Park helped elect has sponsored a bill to allow terminally ill adults in New York to end their life commit suicide, notice they can not even say the word suicide with the aid of medication.

The bill, called the New York End of Life Options Act the assembly version is called "death with dignity" liberals are very good at influencing public opinion by changing the names pro abortion turns in to "pro choice" same sex "marriage" turned into "marriage equality" and these bills are called such nice names as "aid in dying" "death with dignity" and end of life options", would allow a mentally competent which is only determined by a psychiatric examination if the patients doctor mandates it, terminally ill patient to request a prescription to end their life if their suffering becomes unbearable or even if they are not in any pain as there is no section in the bill that has anything to do with pain.

The patient's physician could prescribe "medication that the patient can self-administer which no one would ever know if it wasn't self administered to bring about a "peaceful" and "humane" death"  implying that living till God decides to take their life is not humane, as Rav Moshe Soloveichik said that if these bills pass this would be considered the "humane" approach and other methods like life, would be considered inhumane with all it's implications including the medical insurance companies, the bill states.

The end-of-life rights of terminally ill patients became a national debate when Californian Brittany Maynard was diagnosed with a deadly form of brain cancer. Given six months to live, she decided to move to Oregon, where there is an end-of-life law otherwise known murder.

The 29-year-old ended her life in November with the assistance of physician-prescribed drugs.

The law that Ms. Savino (D-North Shore/Brooklyn) and co-sponsor state Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) have drafted would require that two doctors diagnose a patient as terminal and two witnesses WHICH CAN BOTH BE EMPLOYEES OF THE PATIENTS MEDICAL INSURANCE COMPANY must confirm that the patient's request for the drugs is voluntary without a psychological examination.

Physician participation in prescribing the drugs is "voluntary "and the law would protect doctors from civil or criminal liability and other disciplinary action for fulfilling a patient's request.

"The option to end one's suffering when facing the final stages of a terminal illness should be a basic human right and more important than killing a patient who may not want to commit suicide, and not dependent upon one's ZIP code," Ms. Savino said. "With solid support for aid in dying notice how nice they make it sound how many people will mistake it for aid to the dying across every demographic how about religious?, I believe there will be strong bipartisan backing for this bill."  unfortunately this part may be true thanks to "moral" people voting republican blindly without realizing that some Republicans are worse then democrats.

The senator's bill is modeled after the Oregon law and other states where aid in dying is allowed in Oregon where medicaid refused to pay for chemotherapy but paid for poison.

Besides Oregon, aid in dying is authorized in Washington where only 3% of patients have a psychological examination, Montana, Vermont and New Mexico.


Since hearing of Ms. Maynard's case, lawmakers have introduced similar bills, or plan to so, in many other states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Washington, D.C. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts have introduced these bill before that.  all together this covers more than 90% of Orthodox Jews in America

Compassion & Choices who's founder Derek Humphry wrote a guide book on how to commit suicide that actually led to be people committing suicide, a nonprofit patients' rights group that advocates for end-of-life choices, has been pushing for lawmakers to sponsor bills for end-of-life laws.

Several years ago I got a call from a suburban police officer who sounded close to distraught.

He and his partner had just finished coming from the apparent suicide of a young woman who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her family`s garage.

Among the young woman`s possessions, the officer had found a book. The book was called ``Let Me Die Before I Wake.`` 

``The book appears to be a guide to how to commit suicide,`` the officer said. ``It appears that the young woman may have read it before she killed herself.``

He wanted to know if such a book was legal. He said that it was written by a man named Derek Humphry, who was affiliated with something called the Hemlock Society. The police officer didn`t know if this was some sort of a cult, or what: ``It just seems wrong that people can read this stuff and learn how to kill themselves.``

"As a key member of the Independent Democratic [Conference] in the New York State Senate, Sen. Savino is well positioned to gain bipartisan support for New York's aid in dying bill," said Barbara Coombs Lee, president of Compassion & Choices. so the jewish community in the 5 towns must tell Skelos if this bill passes they will vote him out of office

Hoylman said Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) hasn’t indicated whether he’d support the bill. Cuomo’s office did not respond to a Huffington Post request for comment.

How Borough Park Helped Bring Assisted "Suicide" Legislation To New York

After Seymour Lachman left the State Senate The Jewish community had a chance to put in someone who would fight for decency in the senate instead we stayed home and those who voted did so in what looks like a majority for a leftist pig (Diane Savino) who was one of the leading pushers behind same sex "marriage" and now Assisted "Suicide"

look at this map below and ask yourself could the Jewish community have brought out even 5,000 votes for someone decent?

now add in parts of Bensonhurst and Sea Gate and you'll see who is at fault.

Borough Park portion of Savino's 2004 district (click to see entire district which includes parts of Bensonhurst and all of Sea Gate)

Instead we had the Jewish "leaders" support this thing including outgoing state senator Seymour Lachman and Assemblyman Dov Hikind.

From her '04 flyer

"she has the energy, she has the intelligence, she has the integrity and she has the experience to be state senator"     Seymour Lachman  (I hope he has changed his mind since then)

notice that in the 48th and 49th AD's which Jews were most likely majority of the voters Savino actually won

Here are the Staten Island numbers when added together Savino only got 4,621 votes (including Jewish traitors)

When looking at these numbers it's obvious to everyone that we failed miserably and we unfortunately will be held accountable

And for the record just looking at her endorsements and we knew back in 04 that she was terrible.

• She got the support of the Democratic Socialists of America (page 7) (they only endorsed 4 candidates in the state)
• She was the only the only candidate who got the working families party line (it was more idealistic (meaning leftist) then too)
• She was endorsed in the primary by Liz Kruger, and Toby Ann Stovisky 2 of the most leftists in the senate
• She was endorsed by NARAL (a super pro abortion group)
• MOST IMPORTANTLY SHE GOT THE ENDORSEMENT OF BROOKLYN'S GAY POLITICAL CLUB 

State Senators Look to Introduce ‘Death With Dignity’ Legislation This Month
By Jillian Jorgensen | 01/15/15 9:23am



After a terminally ill woman made headlines when she moved to Oregon so she could end her life under a doctor’s care, two State Senators are hoping to bring a similar law to New York.

“There are only five states in the country that allow for people to make end of life decisions similar to what Oregon does, and New York is not one of them,” former Borough Park State Senator Diane Savino told the Observer.

Brittany Maynard, 29, was suffering from brain cancer when she ended her life November 1 with a lethal dose of secobarbital prescribed by her physician. In New York, doing so would have put her doctor at risk of manslaughter charges, Ms. Savino said. She and State Senator Brad Hoylman want to change that with legislation Ms. Savino said they’d look to introduce by the end of the month.

“I was moved by Brittany’s story. I had seen her videos and felt compelled by the need, if I or any of my loved ones find themselves in a similar situation, to have that choice—and what a wonderful "gift" for her, that she was able to have a modicum of control over her end of life,” Mr. Hoylman told the Observer.

Mr. Hoylman, whose interest in the legislation was first reported by the Daily News, and Ms. Savino said the legislation would be modeled on the law in Oregon, a state Ms. Maynard moved to specifically so she could access its “Death With Dignity” law.

“What we’re looking to do is two things: amend the public health law in New York State to allow patients and doctors and family members of patients? to make end of life decisions that make sense for them, and two, to inoculate doctors who choose to do this from prosecution,” Ms. Savino said.
And Jewish leaders continued to support her




A patient would need to have a terminal illness that was verified by more than one physician, and have a prognosis of fewer than six months. The patient would need to be found to be of sound mind in a mental competency hearing verified by another independent psychologist which is not in Linda Rosenthal's bill (her's only mandates a psychiatric evaluation if a doctor demands it) which is presumably the same bill these 2 plan on sponsoring happens. If the patient met all the criteria, he or she could request in writing to be prescribed the lethal dose of medication.

“What we’ve found in other states that have this now is the vast majority of patients who elect to do so never use the prescription and that only 3% of people had a psychiatric evaluation,” Ms. Savino said, but simply want to know they have that power over their illness. “They have some control over what is an uncontrollable situation.”

The senators are working with "Compassion" and "Choices" who's founder Derek Humphry wrote a guide book on how to commit suicide that actually led to be people committing suicide, the advocacy group that published a video of Maynard discussing her choice to move to Oregon and set a date for the end of her life that put her—and the issue of "aid" in dying legislation—in the spotlight late last year. The group is continuing to lobby on her behalf for similar laws nationwide, along with Maynard’s husband Dan Diaz, who this week gave his first interviews since his wife’s death. Compassion & Choices also lobbied on behalf of another priority of Ms. Savino’s—the medical marijuana law passed last year.

Several years ago I got a call from a suburban police officer who sounded close to distraught.

He and his partner had just finished coming from the apparent suicide of a young woman who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her family`s garage.

Among the young woman`s possessions, the officer had found a book. The book was called ``Let Me Die Before I Wake.`` 

``The book appears to be a guide to how to commit suicide,`` the officer said. ``It appears that the young woman may have read it before she killed herself.``

He wanted to know if such a book was legal. He said that it was written by a man named Derek Humphry, who was affiliated with something called the Hemlock Society. The police officer didn`t know if this was some sort of a cult, or what: ``It just seems wrong that people can read this stuff and learn how to kill themselves.``

“Compassion & Choices, as Diane proved, is a terrific partner and has a lot of experience in the New York State legislature. That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with Sen. Savino on this issue,” Mr. Hoylman said, also noting Ms. Savino’s ties to leadership as a member of the Democratic Independent Conference which means that this bill might pass if she makes a deal with Dean Skelos who helped pass same sex "marriage" and the rishaim/idiots of the 5 Towns keep electing.

Still, the legislation could face an uphill battle. Many religious groups strongly oppose such measures, and it’s unclear if it would find favor with leaders in the Senate, dominated by Republicans, and Assembly, or with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

“It’s very controversial because it makes people uncomfortable, it really does. I never run away from the uncomfortable,” Ms. Savino said. like she did with people opposing same sex "marriage?  “But in passing I mentioned it to a couple of members and I was somewhat surprised to how supportive they were. There’s not a person who gets to the age of 30 in this world who doesn’t see, or hasn’t seen, someone they love suffer terribly.”

The "open minded" senator hung this outside her office during the fight to destroy marriage

Mr. Hoylman too thought it would be possible to pass the legislation, saying the state had a “sophisticated electorate”meaning  evil/liberal electorate and that they would work to educate means pressure colleagues on the need for the legislation.

“We’ll work on a bill that people are comfortable with, including the advocates, including groups that are concerned about making certain that there are adequate safeguards like Washington where only 3% of people had a psychiatric evaluation? in the legislation, and address concerns like insurance meaning you are now going to pay for murder and be a full partner in this crime and who makes these decisions I though they claimed it was the patient? and issues that are crucial to making certain that the process is not taken advantage of,” Mr. Hoylman said.

Similar legislation was passed by the New Jersey State Assembly, and Ms. Savino said she’d be watching the progress of the neighboring state closely. which is why everybody should lobby in NJ to stop this bill She’ll also take lessons from her lengthy push to pass medical marijuana, she said.

“Lesson number one: pay attention to your colleagues. Their opinions count,” she said. “Also, there’s a very distinct possibility that this could be a multi-year bill. I’m prepared for that.” which means we also have to prepare for that.
