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 concurrent resolution states the sense of Congress on assisted suicide, which it defines as knowingly prescribing or providing a substance or other means that will result in a person's death. It lists findings about state laws that allow the practice, including reporting rules, prognosis requirements, and death certificate practices. It states that the federal government should ensure that every person facing the end of life has access to medical care, including palliative, in-home, or hospice care. It also states that the federal government should not adopt or endorse policies or practices that support, encourage, or facilitate suicide or assisted suicide. As a resolution, it does not create new law.
