The vast majority of people who end up taking their own life aren't doing it because they're in pain. Cochran says medical professionals pressuring patients to choose assisted suicide is the inevitable consequence of allowing any form of euthanasia. He believes it fundamentally breaks trust between doctor and patient. Right now Cochran is suing California for a religious liberty exemption to a law governor Gavin Newsom passed last year. It requires physicians who have objections to assisted suicide to refer patients to other doctors who will help them die. Cochran said that too violates his conscience as a Christian.
