The American Medical Association and the Massachusetts Medical Society oppose physician-assisted suicide. This year, the Dignity 2012 proposal was sent to the Massachusetts Legislature, where it has not yet received an up-or-down vote. In testimony before the Legislature’s Joint Committee on the Judiciary, Lynda Young, MD, then-president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, noted that the society’s house of delegates reaffirmed its opposition to doctor-assisted suicide by an “overwhelming” margin.
