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 House concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that assisted suicide poses a risk of deadly harm to everyone, particularly vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, and those experiencing depression. The bill cites data from Oregon indicating that psychological concerns like loss of autonomy are more common reasons for seeking lethal drugs than pain, and notes that state laws often lack safeguards regarding medical monitoring and family notification. It further argues that current regulations can obscure causes of death, create financial incentives to deny life-saving treatments, and fail to adequately monitor the practice. The resolution concludes by stating that the Federal Government should ensure access to comprehensive palliative and hospice care while avoiding policies that support or facilitate assisted suicide.
