What will happen to a life insurance policy if the person has a euthanasia procedure done?
AnswerAs long as the policy is two years old, it shouldn't be a problem. Many policies have a provision to pay out a substantial amount upon diagnosis of a terminal illness. The laws for life insurance vary state by state and depends on what is contained in the policy itself...Some states allow life insurance companies to deny benefits completely if the insured commits suicide within 2 years of opening the policy..Some States allow life insurance companies to have a suicide exclusion clause for the life of the policy in which if the insured commits suicide they will only pay benefits equaling the total amount of premiums that the insured paid on the policy...Some States also allow insurance companies to have a euthanasia clause in which benefits will not be paid in cases of assisted suicide by physician/healthcare worker because it is a criminal act in that state.
What does to die with dignity mean?
The term "death with dignity" is a euphemism for euthanasia (physician assisted suicide) of those who are terminally ill, wasting away, or otherwise facing a painful and lingering death. Since almost all states have laws that prohibit suicide or assisting in suicide, various organizations have lobbied for changes to these laws. In many cases, only a doctor would be aware that a dosage of morphine or other painkillers could be expected to have a fatal effect. The states of Oregon and Washington enacted Death with Dignity laws (in 1994 and 2008 respectively) that have highly-restrictive guidelines for legal acts of euthanasia. A 1999 Texas law enables health care facilities to discontinue life support measures for the terminally ill. Most states already allow artificial life support to be discontinued by the families of those unable to make their wishes known. The laws of Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands allow voluntary assisted suicide.
Is there a law prohibiting euthanasia in the US?
someone is not considered dead until a doctor or the coroner pronounces them dead. It is necessary for the question to be more specific as to what the exact issue might be; such as debts of a deceased, a beneficiary of a will/estate, wrongful death of a person, and so forth.
How long has euthanasia been illegal for?
It depends on what country you are asking about. Some nations allow medically assisted death (i.e.: The Netherlands) , and some states in the US also allow it. Therefore it is not illegal everywhere.
