Legalizing doctor-assisted suicide does not lead to a "slippery slope" of excess deaths among the vulnerable poor, uninsured, elderly or other patients, according to a U.S. study in the October issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics.

Funny they should be so concerned about "poor, uninsured, elderly", when the latest euthanasia victim was (somewhat) wealthy, insured, and young. (Terri Schaivo)

Actually, the most recent assisted suicide case was Lovelle Svart in Oregon. There was extensive media coverage of her, at her request. You can find it at: http://next.oregonianextra.com/lovelle/

I know this runs counter to how many people believe, but having watched my mother die a slow and painful death, I think it’s a good law and it’s comforting to me that I have that option.
