MY COMMENTARY: In My Opinion Allowing and r Promoting Assisted Suicide Is Part Of The Cabals Depopulation Agenda. Making It Ok For The Terminally Ill To End Their Lives Makes The Cabal's Job Of Killing Off Humans Easier.
I Do Respect A Persons RIGHT To End Their Life However I Also Am Very Much Aware of The Dark Agenda Behind The Push To Legalize Assisted Suicide. Most People Wont See or Understand This Is All Part Of The Depopulation Agenda.
Instead Of Allowing Terminally People To Access Med Beds That Will Painlessly CURE & HEAL Their Mind & Body At A Cellular Level They Rather Make It Legal For Terminally Ill To Medically Suicide Themselves. Med Beds CURE ALL Diseases and Illnesses and It Heals The Physical Body.
Med Beds Have Been Installed Throughout The US And They Are Ready To Be Used By The Civilian Population. However The Re,aining Cabal Are Trying Their Best Keep The Public From Knowing Med Beds Exist. Now Yall' Think About That Shit For A Minute.
