Newsletter titled, "Abuse: Patients with Non-Terminal Anorexia Die from Assisted Suicide Drugs" Proponents of assisted suicide claim that there have been no abuses in states that have legalized. It is clear that this, claim is not accurate when reviewing what has happened with patients with anorexia, a treatable mental health disability which is not a terminal condition. Two patients in a Colorado case study in their early 30s 1, and at least one patient in Oregon2 with anorexia nervosa have died using assisted suicide drugs. In Colorado from 2017-2024, 30 patients died from assisted suicide drugs for "severe protein calorie malnutrition."3_In California from 2016-2023, 40 patients with "endocrine, nutritional and metabolic disease," which includes anorexia, died from assisted suicide drugs.4 A recent study revealed at least sixty published cases of assisted suicide and euthanasia among patients with eating disorders in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United States, raising significant public safety concerns.5 A third of the cases involved young people in their teens and twenties, some of whom had never received comprehensive treatment before they were assisted in suicide. This is happening and will continue through creative interpretation of assisted swieisle-lowe and, in the case of anorexia patients, novel new "terminal anorexia" diagnoses.

1/ #PatientAssistedSuicide harms disabled people & those with complex health conditions. Even though it's often branded as only being for terminal patients, this has not been the case in every instance. Canada allows PAS for non-terminal patients. The US has allowed it, too. #DisabiltyJustice

Also 8M children in CHIP & 71.9M adults, & most of the $ is spent for lifesaving care #PWD would die without. If the GOP is judged by how he treats our most vulnerable, it should be condemned across the board. #DisabiltyJustice #HandsOff #Medicaid #DisabillityRightsAreHumanRights
