A bill that would allow doctors in the District of Columbia to kill their patients “compassionately” – a medical “procedure” known as physician-assisted suicide – has been given the green light by D.C.’s City Council. Reports indicate that, pending a signature by Mayor Muriel Bowser, the bill will soon become law, making D.C. the sixth jurisdiction in the nation to legally sanction euthanasia for patients who opt for it with the blessing of their physicians.

In an overwhelming vote of 11–2, the D.C. Council, led by councilwoman Mary Cheh, voted to pass the “Death With Dignity Act,” which advocates say is desperately needed to help those with debilitating illnesses pass in peace. Cheh is quoted as saying that there is an “urgent need” to allow patients to commit suicide with the help of their doctors, and that this “end-of-life care option” is a matter of personal freedom.

“This law is designed to keep the government from taking away people’s freedom and liberty to make these fundamentally personal decisions in consultation with their family, physician and spiritual advisors,” Cheh said in a statement.

The 11–2 vote is so overwhelming that not even Mayor Bowser has the option to veto it, and reports indicate that once passed it will go to Congress for review. Mayor Bowser never really stated whether or not she planned to veto the bill, but she did indicate that she expected it to eventually become law, according to The Washington Post.

Is it ever morally right to take someone else’s life, even with consent?
