Blogger Comment: This Blog is just one pointer of many now, that western nations are using euthanasia as part of the Globalist’s depopulation Agenda across the western world that has gone wild over the last 5>10 years, as it more profitable by far to euthanize people than treat them for their illness and it is getting more for people who are not terminally ill, but for all sorts of dubious reasons in the West now and increasing in some countries lie Canada at an exponential rate since they in introduced state euthanasia in 2016 under the WEF member PM Trudeau and now run by the new WEF controlled Prime Minister Carney, who was a formerly WEF senior executive)…

Oregon has recorded a rise in “assisted suicide” deaths since the Democrat-controlled state passed laws to legalize lethal injections.

More people are now being killed with legally prescribed drugs under Oregon’s so-called “Death with Dignity Act.”

New data shows a steady rise in both prescriptions and deaths tied to the controversial program.

According to the Oregon Health Authority, “The number of prescriptions written for lethal medications increased about 5%, from 609 to 637” between 2024 and 2025.

The agency’s latest annual report also confirmed that deaths have consistently increased since assisted suicide was legalized in 1998, even though not every prescription results in a fatal outcome.

State Data Shows Long-Term Upward Trend

Officials acknowledged that the overall trajectory continues to move in one direction.

“Numbers of deaths from ingesting lethal doses of [assisted suicide] drugs also have stayed on an upward trajectory since Oregon began reporting data on participation in the Act in 1998,” the report states.

Tom Jeanne, deputy state health officer, confirmed the trend in a public statement, saying:

“What we’ve been seeing over the last several years is a steady overall increase in prescriptions and deaths among Death with Dignity Act participants.”

Recipients of the drugs most commonly cited “loss of autonomy (89%), decreasing ability to participate in activities that made life enjoyable (89%), and loss of dignity (65%)” as reasons for choosing to end their lives.

State data from 2024 also show that all recipients had insurance coverage, with cancer listed as the most common diagnosis.

Critics Warn of Lack of Safeguards and Mental Health Oversight

Pro-life advocates are raising alarms about what they describe as insufficient safeguards, particularly regarding mental health evaluations.

Lois Anderson, executive director of Oregon Right to Life, criticized the rising numbers and the state’s approach.

“Once again, Oregon’s assisted suicide report shows that prescriptions of death-inducing drugs are tragically on the rise,” Anderson said.

“Last year – instead of being cared for and supported, assured that their lives have inherent value and meaning – 637 vulnerable people were prescribed drugs intended to cause their deaths.”

The group also highlighted what it described as a critical gap in oversight, noting that “[o]nly two patients were referred for psychological or psychiatric evaluation.

“Three had been referred for evaluation in 2024.”

Anderson called the figures “deeply concerning,” adding:

“A patient’s request for suicide should always trigger a thorough mental health analysis.”

Anderson argues it is “unconscionable” that “vulnerable patients” were not given what she described as “basic support.”

Oregon Emerges as Destination for Assisted Suicide

At the same time, Oregon has expanded access to the program beyond its own residents, drawing increased scrutiny.

Following a 2023 decision by Democrat Gov. Tina Kotek to remove the state’s residency requirement, out-of-state participation has grown.

According to Oregon Right to Life, “37 people from outside Oregon received [assisted suicide] prescriptions in 2025, representing 6% of the total and an increase from 24 (4%) in 2024.”

Since the law was enacted in 1998, nearly 3,700 people have died after taking the prescribed drugs, based on state figures.

Critics argue the trend reflects a broader pattern seen both in the United States and internationally, where concerns have been raised about potential abuse.

Reports have cited cases in which government-backed healthcare systems covered assisted suicide while declining to fund certain treatments, as well as controversial incidents abroad involving non-terminal patients being offered the option.

The issue has also drawn renewed attention following comments from the late “Dilbert” creator Scott Adams.

Adams previously supported assisted suicide.

However, he reconsidered after facing a serious cancer diagnosis and weighing the physical realities involved.
