42 U.S.C. § 14403 — Restriction on use of Federal funds under certain grant programs
submitted 29 years ago by Pub. L. 105-12 to r/title-42-THE-PUBLIC-HEALTH-AND-WELFARE · 103 words · no verdicts yet
Federal money for certain developmental-disabilities grant programs cannot fund any service that helps someone get an item, benefit, or service meant to cause a person's death, like assisted suicide or euthanasia. This rule doesn't touch the protections described in section 14402(b), such as the right to refuse treatment.
Subject to section 14402(b) of this title (relating to construction and treatment* of certain services), no funds appropriated by Congress* to carry out subtitle B, D, or E of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 [42 U.S.C. 15021 et seq., 15061 et seq., 15081 et seq.] may be used to support or fund any program or service which has a purpose of assisting in procuring any item, benefit, or service furnished for the purpose of causing, or the purpose of assisting in causing, the death of any individual, such as by assisted suicide, euthanasia, or mercy killing.
