Kelsey Sherrod highlights a correlation between states that have abolished the death penalty and those that have legalized MAID. She discusses the findings of Dr. Joel Zivit, who performed autopsies on lethal injection recipients and found that the drugs often cause pulmonary edema, leading to a sensation of drowning. Sherrod argues that the drugs used in MAID are often identical to those used in executions.
The advocacy group Compassion and Choices is reportedly targeting the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by challenging the PACHETA Bill. The goal is to allow federal funding for "end of life care," which Sherrod claims is a euphemism for assisted suicide. The expansion into the VA is particularly concerning given the high rates of PTSD and service-related illnesses among veterans.
