IN the NEWS - Hawaii opens the door to the slippery slope

I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.

Jeremiah 17:10 NKJV
"On Thursday, the governor of Hawaii signed legislation making it the sixth state to allow doctor-assisted suicide.

To the delight of assisted suicide activists, Democratic Gov. David Ige signed HB 2739 into law...
Effective January 1, 2019, Hawaii will be the sixth state to fully allow the practice.
State Sen. Mike Gabbard, a Democrat who voted against the bill, called attention to the fact that it requires death certificates to list patients’ cause of death as their underlying terminal illness rather than the life-ending drugs they took.
Scott Foster of the pro-assisted suicide Death with Dignity Society said that provision was meant to prevent conflicts with insurance companies over drug and treatment coverage. But Gabbard called it “ridiculous that we’re going to falsify the cause of death.”...despite the alleged origins of assisted suicide as a voluntary last resort for extreme cases, similar laws in Belgium and the Netherlands have led to involuntary euthanasia. These laws now also extend to newborns, children, people with dementia, and people without terminal diagnoses." Lifesite

Abortion, gay marriage, transgenderism celebrated in the public arena, legalizing drugs, testing the waters for cannibalism...so why not killing off the sick and the elderly (and even others as that slippery slope has now led to in Belgium and Holland)?
