Section 22-8B-2 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) In almost
every state, it is a crime to assist a suicide. These bans are long-standing expressions of
the commitment of the states to protect and preserve all human life. (2) The state has an
interest in protecting vulnerable groups, including the impoverished, the elderly, and disabled
persons from abuse, neglect, and mistakes. A ban on assisted suicide reflects and reinforces
our belief that the lives of those in vulnerable groups are no less valued than the lives
of the young and healthy. (3) The state has an interest in protecting the integrity and ethics
of the medical profession, including its obligation to serve its patients as healers and adhere
to the principles articulated in the Hippocratic Oath. (4) The state recognizes the close
link between physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia where a right to die can easily become
a duty to die. A prohibition against assisted suicide is the only...

Section 26-14-7.2 Child denied medical treatment due to parents' religious beliefs. (a) When
an investigation of child abuse or neglect by the Department of Human Resources determines
that a parent or legal guardian legitimately practicing his or her religious beliefs has not
provided specific medical treatment for a child, the parent or legal guardian shall not be
considered a negligent parent or guardian for that reason alone. This exception shall not
preclude a court from ordering that medical services be provided to the child when the child's
health requires it. (b) The department may, in any case, pursue any legal remedies, including
the initiation of legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction, as may be necessary
to provide medical care or treatment for a child when the care or treatment is necessary to
prevent or remedy serious harm to the child, or to prevent the withholding of medically indicated
treatments from infants with disabilities and with life-threatening...

availability is limited and likely to become increasingly so, unless remedial legislation is
enacted. The Legislature further finds and declares that by reason of complicated and highly
technical medical concepts, and the existence of sophisticated medical techniques, decisions
with respect to optional procedures of diagnosis and treatment have become increasingly complex
and are necessarily made on the basis of professional judgment, on which opinions may and
often will reasonably vary. It is the purpose of this chapter to insure that the citizens
of the State of Alabama are able to receive necessary health services by providing an environment
in which the medical profession can be assured of medical liability insurance coverage and
be afforded reasonable protection against personal liability for consequences proximately
resulting from decisions with respect to diagnosis and treatment arrived at in the bona fide
exercise of professional judgment. (Acts 1975, No. 513, p. 1148, §2.)...
