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

of the young and healthy. (3) The state has an interest in protecting the integrity and ethics
