 In his article "Government Policies Promote Assisted Suicide," Bradley Mattes writes - "It was titled 'America’s War on Pain Pills Is Killing Addicts and Leaving Patients in Agony.' I have dealt with chronic, sometimes fist-clenching pain for well over a decade and have long depended upon pain medications. Every day is a struggle on some level. Changes in weather patterns or overexertion can make for some very challenging days. But I'm more fortunate than many. "Increasingly, government is getting between people with chronic pain conditions and the medicines they desperately need to function. This bureaucratic approach to medicine is in sharp contrast to prescriptions given with the actual intent of killing. Finding my pain doctor was an answered prayer as I had reached a point of desperation. It felt like the joy had been totally sucked out of life. "I more fully understand how chronic pain sufferers can be driven to total despondency and some to thoughts of suicide. Each year it seems government is putting up another roadblock to legitimately needed pain medications. Patients on the receiving end of these prescriptions are routinely assumed guilty until proven innocent. " It's strange that government policies actively promote killing people with drugs, while at the same time denying drugs to people who legitimately need them in order to function normally. Assisted suicide narcotics are easily available and are not tracked, resulting in almost 1,000 of the prescriptions for assisted suicide in the states of Oregon and Washington being unaccounted for... possibly ending up injected into drug addicts.
