To everyone's surprise, she started talking. Ed Lester, Arline's son, said he had not heard her speak since her tracheotomy. Her first words that day were, “What did you say?”, clearly heard by all in the room. Ed Lester, was talking to his friend about his mother's heart-breaking case and the trouble that she was in. According to Ed, his brother (whose name we won’t reveal) wants his mother dead. There is an old Living Will and </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">apparently a new Living Will, an old Proxy Healthcare document and a new Healthcare Proxy document. According to Ed, prior to both new documents, Arline Lester was evaluated by a psychiatrist and deemed to have her mental capacity to make decisions. According to Ed, his mother revoked her old living will and her old healthcare proxy document. Now, this is being evaluated by a Judge in Nassau County brought on by Ed's brother. According to Ed, his brother wants his mother dead and so Ed fears that if the new healthcare proxy is not honored, he will lose his mother.</span></span><br />

<div style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One thing needs to be made very clear here. I have noticed that as I went around speaking and educating on the facts of New York's 2020 assisted suicide bill, so many people think this is about pulling the plug. Let me make this very clear here, assisted suicide bills are <i>not </i>about pulling the plug. In fact that case has been decided over 20 years ago through the federal <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/101st-congress/house-bill/4449"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Patient Self Determination Act, 1990</b></span></a>. Assisted suicide bills are about receiving a lethal drug to commit suicide, or even euthanasia - which means a person killing another person with or without their permission. Now, this should begin to give you an indication of what is in assisted suicide bills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">With that said, I will answer a few questions that I've been asked during the info campaign we've been on: What is this assisted suicide bill in New York? Why do we call it the "assisted suicide" bill and not the name the euthanasia society gives it? What is in the assisted suicide bill? What will it do? Why is it a bad policy bill?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I will not mention names of organizations involved with pushing this agenda, because there are those people I have met who told me their heart breaking stories of losing their loved ones who went to those organizations. This is a hard topic to teach, but it needs to be known in order to protect all of you reading this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I'll begin with the facts that there are certain organizations which have been around for a number of years whose sole purpose was to assist a person's suicide, whether they were ill or not. The founder was very open about the purpose of his mission. However, after a few years, some people wanted to change the name of the organization in order to appear "nicer", more "acceptable" to the America Society. In order for them to now enter the realm of legislation, they needed a name for their bill that would also be appealing to non-knowing citizens. The name of the Bill in New York is called "Medical Aid in Dying". To un-informed individuals, this could sound like a nice bill. In actuality, it is very far from the truth and is historically a euphemism for euthanasia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 2015, a law suit was submitted to NY State for the</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> legalization to assist at a person's suicide. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is the outcome of this lawsuit which spelled out what this agenda is all about. Every court from the lowest court in New York to the highest court in New York denied legality to assisting someone's suicide. The highest NY Court -"The New York State Court of Appeals" - said that the plaintiff's request was absolutely about assisting a person's suicide (something that breaks statutory law: a felony). The judges voted unanimously against the plaintiffs. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It is because these very intelligent and highly educated individual judges who investigated this case, who called the act "assisting a person's suicide", that we too call it assisting a suicide. Is this what New York needs while there is a suicide contagion within our youth these days? Absolutely not!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The current assisted suicide bill (c<strong style="caret-color: rgb(111, 111, 111); margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">urrently 2019 - 2020 Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia Bill </strong><strong style="caret-color: rgb(111, 111, 111); margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; transition: color, border-color, background-color 200ms;"><a href="https://nyassembly.gov/leg/?default_fld=&leg_video=1&bn=A02694&term=2019&Summary=Y&Actions=Y&Committee%26nbspVotes=Y&Floor%26nbspVotes=Y&Memo=Y&Text=Y" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; transition: color, border-color, background-color 200ms;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">NY State Assembly Bill #2694</span></a><span style="color: goldenrod;"> </span></span></strong><span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 111, 111); text-align: center;">same as </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(111, 111, 111); margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; transition: color, border-color, background-color 200ms;"><a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2019/s3947" style="font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; transition: color, border-color, background-color 200ms;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">NY State Senate Bill #3947</span></a><b><span style="color: #bf9000;">),</span><span style="color: goldenrod;"> </span></b>contains many flaws. For one, even though the sponsors of the Bill say there are "safeguards" built in, how safe could a lethal drug be sitting in a person's home while an impatient heir - who has rights to the person's estate - can do unimaginable things to the person behind closed doors. One flaw is that there is no over-site. Plus, the person's death certificate would be signed by the doctor, "death by natural causes". How are valid statistics kept if the real cause of death is hidden?</span></span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In short, "Medical Aid In Dying", a term historically used for euthanasia, poses a serious danger to the public, our youth and society. This statement is supported by many studies. Legalized assisted suicide/euthanasia is a tool that will destroy the academic excellence of research and science in the United States of America, as doctors forget how to treat illnesses or diseases. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This is not about pulling the plug, but about giving the government, doctors, pharmacists, family members and friends, a license and the ability to kill an innocent person without consent, behind closed doors, while the heir to the estate and all others listed above are not held accountable if suspicion or error occurs.</span><br />

Assembly Member Bichotte asked testifiers showing her concern for the people of her community. She appeared not to be satisfied with the answers nor explanations to her questions.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once afternoon arrived, there were only two legislators present for the entire remaining of the day; Assembly Member Gottfried & Assembly Member Paulin, sponsor of the bill. The room was heavily packed until the later hours. Was there a good representation of legislators present to hear testimonies and will to ask questions? The answer is no.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The hearing ended with the last testifier, who was in favor of the Bill, urging NY State to pass the Bill by end of the month, May 2018. The Bill did not come up for a vote by the end of the legislative session, June 2018.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The May 3rd hearing was the second hearing held in New York State. The first hearing was held in the Capital of New York, Albany on April 23, 2018. NY Against AS attended both hearings. NY Against AS was surprised to learn that there were a number of leaders who oppose Assisted Suicide in New York, who applied to provide testimony but they were denied. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead, the leaders were told by the office of Assemblyman Gottfried, Chairman of the Health Committee to attend on May 3rd, even though those same leaders had work conflicts. The result was a hearing that in NY Against AS's opinion, was unbalanced. More testimonies in support of assisted suicide were given permission to present, than testimonies in opposition. More legislators heard the unbalanced-in-ratio of testimonies than the hearing in New York City. This caused an appearance to legislators and on-lookers in attendance in Albany, that there were more in support for assisted suicide than the actual truth. At any given point in time, there were about 8 legislators in attendance of the hearing.</div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Advocates of Assisted Suicide bills claim that the bills are safe because of Safe Guards built into the Bills. Is this true or not? New Yorkers know first hand about fraud, corruption, scams and con artists who are continuously at work, so why should New Yorkers trust someone who claims the bills are safe? Should we trust doctors who have a license to kill? We know corruption exists and just because there is a law against something, does not necessarily mean people follow that law.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">Let's add little more light on this topic of corruption. Those advocates of Assisted Suicide, for example; Dr. Timothy Quill, on October 3rd, 2017 gave a presentation at the Northwell Medical school on Long island, NY. He claimed that physicians are already helping their patients to die and that this should no longer be kept a secret. He said it would be good to discuss the issue in order to learn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">So, if there are physicians who are already helping their patients to commit suicide when it is illegal, what law will make these corrupt physicians stop being corrupt?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: medium;">On September 7th, 2017 the highest court in New York ruled against Assisted Suicide as a Right in New York State. "</span><br />

<br />
On November 1st, the City Council of Washington DC voted in favor of Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia law with a vote of 11-2, despite strong opposition by the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/right-to-die-law-faces-skepticism-in-us-capital-its-really-aimed-at-old-black-people/2016/10/17/8abf6334-8ff6-11e6-a6a3-d50061aa9fae_story.html?postshare=4741476754355994&tid=ss_mail">African American community</a>.<br />
<br />
Write to DC Mayor Bowser to veto physician-assisted suicide measure: <br />
“The D.C. Death With Dignity Act,” B21-38.<br />
<br />
The council will hold a final vote on the bill, possibly as early as Nov. 15,” according to the Washington Post.<br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
"Many in the black community distrust the health-care system and fear
that racism in life will translate into discrimination in death, said
Patricia King, a Georgetown Law School professor who has written about
the racial dynamics of assisted death.<br />
<br />
“Historically, African
Americans have not had a lot of control over their bodies, and I don’t
think offering them assisted suicide is going to make them feel more
autonomous,” King said.<br />
<br />
Contact Mayor Browser and urge her to veto “The D.C. Death With Dignity Act,” B21-38.<br />
THANK YOU!<br />
