Minnesotans Against Assisted Suicide—MNAAS—is a growing statewide coalition of organizations, 
professionals and individuals who oppose the legislation introduced in the 
2015 Minnesota Legislature to legalize assisted suicide. 

The bill, S.F. 1880 / H.F. 2095, is dangerous and a prescription for abuse. After a lengthy hearing on March 16, 2016, the Senate bill was withdrawn. The author pledged to bring it back again next year.

Minnesotans Against Assisted Suicide calls for its defeat.

Assisted suicide

We oppose the bill to legalize assisted suicide. The legislation is dangerous and dishonors those who are suffering.

S.F. 1880:
​A recipe for elder abuse

Once the lethal dose is issued by a pharmacy, there is no oversight. An heir could administer the lethal dose without the patient's consent. Even if he struggled, who would know?

Diagnoses can be wrong

People can be pressured to give up on treatment and throw away months, years or decades of their lives.

Carelessness

People with a history of depression and suicide attempts have received the lethal drugs instead of the mental health care they need.​

Suicide is a contagion

When assisted suicide is legalized, it can increase suicide rates for all populations.

Problems in Oregon

Despite the lack of state oversight, many problems have come to light in the first state to legalize assisted suicide.
