Expressing the sense of the Congress that assisted suicide (sometimes referred to using other terms) puts everyone, including those most vulnerable, at risk of deadly harm.

This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that assisted suicide puts vulnerable populations at risk and should not be adopted as federal policy. The resolution argues that states authorizing assisted suicide lack adequate safeguards, that patients often cite psychological rather than pain-related reasons for seeking it, and that better access to palliative and hospice care should be prioritized instead. It calls on the federal government to ensure comprehensive end-of-life medical care without supporting or facilitating assisted suicide.
