Correction: Final Exit Network’s Ted Goodwin Did Not Resign From The World Federation of the Right to Die Societies

A few days ago I wrote that Ted Goodwin, one of the Final Exit Network assisted suicide defendants, was a mainstream figure in the assisted suicide movement. He certainly is that. But I made an error by writing that he had resigned as vice president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies. As far as I know he didn’t. He resigned as head of the Final Exit Network. That means he is still in line to be the World Federation’s president starting in 2010. Mea culpa.
