(National Review<\/a>)\u00a0Over the years, I have repeatedly noted that the assisted-suicide movement is a \u201cMarin County\u201d movement \u2014 well-off, well-tailored white people<\/a> who never have to worry about being denied quality care and believe themselves entitled to be made dead no matter who else might get hurt.<\/p>\n

Assisted-suicide statistics in California validate my criticism. People of color rarely commit assisted suicide. From the Public News Service<\/em> story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The new report from the state also found big disparities in who actually uses the law. The patients are 87% white.<\/em><\/p>\n

Just over 1% are Black. Four percent are Hispanic. And 6.4% percent are Asian American.<\/em><\/p>\n

Patricia Gonz\u00e1lez-Portillo, national Latino communications and constituency director with Compassion & Choices, says the low number of Latino patients may be the result of this group, in particular, ending up in religious hospitals that don\u2019t allow their doctors to participate in medical aid-in-dying.<\/em><\/p>\n

That\u2019s only one percent more than last year<\/a>, despite efforts by the suicide promoters at Compassion and Choices \u2014 formerly, more honestly, called the Hemlock Society \u2014 to raise the numbers.<\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Puzzled officials say minorities are shunning assisted suicide. Here\u2019s why.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

As for the Catholic-hospital excuse; baloney. Most terminally ill people don\u2019t die in hospitals<\/a>, but in community-based settings; and moreover, hospice is provided at home. Latinos, African Americans, and Asians just aren\u2019t into suicide. That should be celebrated!<\/p>\n

Believing there can never be enough assisted suicides, the story notes that C & C continues to run \u201cpublic service\u201d advertising to increase the number of such suicides by of people of color.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping they consider the source and switch the ads off. African Americans and Latinos need greater access to quality health care, not more lethal prescriptions.<\/p>\n
