Assisted Suicide Advances: “A Myth is as Good as a Mile”

I have a cover story on the current advances of assisted suicide in the USA in the current National Review . The discuss the “Myth” of Oregon’s supposedly problem free experiment with assisted suicide, the recent legalization of assisted suicide in Washington and Montana, and a failed attempt in California to legalize euthanasia by the back door.

From my perspective, complacency is a big problem in fighting the euthanasia movement. But the easy presumption that “it can’t happen here” should, by now, be inoperable. Thanks to the NR for allowing me to make that point in such a visible forum.
