Matt Vallière, Executive Director of the Patients’ Rights Action Fund, joins John Catsimatidis & James Flippin as they substitute for Sid Rosenberg, to discuss the controversial assisted suicide bill. Valliere outlines the potential dangers of the bill, including the risks to vulnerable individuals who may be pressured or improperly qualified for lethal drugs. He highlights instances from other states and countries where similar legislation has led to troubling outcomes. The conversation explores the ethical, moral, and economic implications, particularly for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those in poverty. Valliere emphasizes that such laws propel a discriminatory mindset and erode the sanctity of life, calling it a complex issue cutting across faith, disability rights, and civil justice.
