Democratic Michigan congressional nominee Robert Lorinser claimed it could be proper and ethical for children suffering from a terminal illness to receive a medically assisted suicide, according to a Facebook post obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/p>\n
[S]uch a difficult issue -DYING, Lorinser, who is running to unseat Republican Rep. Jack Bergman in November and is also a doctor, wrote on Facebook on Oct. 20, 2018. Children are harder than dying after a long life. Calling it medical assisting dying I like. When, who, howdevil is in the details.<\/p>\n
Calling it suicide or killing is definitely negative and wrong. [sic] Calling it medical assisting dying may obscure the issue. A suffering child with a terminal illness say within weeks or months could it be proper and ethical. I think so, Lorinser wrote in the post, which has since been made private, thus shielded from public view.<\/p>\n
Medically assisted suicide is the process by which a patient agrees a physician may end their life often by administering a lethal dose of drugs. (RELATED: Activist Doctors Fight To Legalize Assisted Suicide In Massachusetts)<\/p>\n
Lorinser, who is the medical director for the Marquette County Health Department in Michigan, was responding to a 2018 article in the Daily Wire titled HORROR: Toronto Hospital Preps Assisted Suicide For Children, Might Not Inform Parents. The article is about doctors at a Canadian hospital who rolled out plans for allowing those under 18 years of age to receive medically assisted suicide in the near future.<\/p>\n
Not in any case when the docs initiate this action without even contacting parents, a Facebook user, whose name the DCNF has redacted for their privacy, responded to Lorinser. Murder.<\/p>\n
Diane Coleman, president and CEO of Not Dead Yet, a disability rights group that opposes legalization of assisted suicide, told the DCNF the practice is a form of discrimination.<\/p>\n
Its discrimination because people with chronic health conditions and disabilities, whether or not theyre labeled terminal, are devalued in society, said Coleman.<\/p>\n

Lorinser advanced unopposed in the Democratic primary on Aug. 2 for Michigans 1st Congressional District. The district is solid Republican, according to Politico, and a Democratic member has not been elected there since 2008.<\/p>\n
Dr. Fauci wannabe Bob Lorinser sincerely thinks he is God, and this revelation further proves that point, a campaign spokesman for Bergman told the DCNF. Democrats in the First District continue putting up terribly radical and flawed candidates.<\/p>\n
Last election cycle they put up a wife-beater, and now the same team puts up a doctor with viewpoints so radical they would make Dr. [Jack] Kevorkian blush, said the spokesman, alluding to Dana Ferguson, a Democrat who ran in 2020 against Bergman and was arrested for alleged domestic violence against his ex-wife. Bob Lorinser should withdraw from the race in disgrace.<\/p>\n
Lorinsers campaign did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
