  3. The chiyuv (Torah injunction) of “Lo sa'amod al dam re’echa”, obligates everyone to do what he or she can, to help
    prevent assisted suicide and/or euthanasia.
    Allowing the legalization of “assisted suicide”, even if this particular law in practice would only result in assisting a
    suicide and not euthanasia, is to allow shefichas-domim (bloodshed). Furthermore even rendering such actions not
    being subject to prosecution, is allowing shefichas-domim (bloodshed), al achas kama vekama (how much more
    so), in cases of assisted suicide leading to euthanasia.
    Voting on the basis of this issue. This obligation would include:
    1) Thus, when voting for any public official, this issue must be considered as top priority, certainly overriding
    financial considerations, government programs, etc. By voting for people who support these laws, we
    become accountable for their actions. This ruling would still apply even if these laws were to be passed, we
    would still be forbidden to vote for legislators who voted for these laws. This is the most important way to
    fulfill our obligation.
    2) Urging one’s legislators to vote against these bills, if and when they arise[1]

    and to urge the governor to

    veto such bill, were it to pass the legislature.
    3) Helping in efforts to repeal such laws, in areas[2] where such legislation was already passed.
    Even a few votes can make a major difference, both by legislators and the public—sometimes the vote of a single
    legislator can decide the fate of these laws—as is evidenced by the recent vote in the New Jersey State Assembly
    (in November 2014), where an assisted suicide bill was passed by just one vote.
