Denver (CNA/EWTN News) — Disability advocates and medical professionals came out in opposition to a proposal in the Colorado legislature that would legalize assisted suicide, warning that it would further marginalize the disabled and terminally ill.
"For people like me, who have very high medical costs, we are at risk with bills like this. We know our lives are devalued by the medical system," said Carrie Ann Lucas, a 44-year-old attorney who is disabled.
