Information about Euthanasia

Euthanasia, or so-called "mercy killing," is the deliberate taking of an innocent human life. It is usually perpetrated against terminally ill or severely disabled persons. In the United States, euthanasia (in this case, physician-assisted suicide) has been legalized in the state of Oregon.

Shelby County Right to Life supports the legal protection of the lives of elderly and disabled persons.
