85.008 Physician Assisted Suicide

85.008

Physician Assisted Suicide: The Texas Medical Association strongly opposes any bill to legalize physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia, as these practices are fundamentally inconsistent with the physician's role as healer (Res. 29J, p 198, I-96; amended BOC Rep. 5-A-07; amended BOC Rep. 6-A-17).
