Kennedy Slams Assisted Suicide Laws

0:00On April 23rd, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slammed assisted suicide laws this week, calling them deeply wrong during a Senate hearing on. President Trump's 2027 budget, he warned that letting these practices spread, could lead to serious ethical problems down the line. He pointed straight to Canada, where medical aid and dying has grown a lot lately, and claimed it's now the top cause of death there. Kennedy said this shows how these laws can slip into everyday reality fast. These policies hit the most vulnerable hardest, like folks with disabilities or those dealing with tough personal battles. He argued it prays on people already struggling, which raises big red flags for society. In the US, the rules differ by state places like California, Oregon, and Washington allow it under tight limits, while others ban it outright. Kennedy stressed, this isn't just policy, it's about keeping our moral compass intact. He's opened a teaming up with lawmakers against it, as the baits heat up across the country on where we draw the line.
