I was Right: No Media Coverage of Study Showing Assisted Suicide for People with Few Symptoms

Intrepid readers of SHS will recall that I wrote about a study--based on interviews with family members--showing that some patients received lethal prescriptions before experiencing serious symptoms--out of worry about future potential pain or loss of dignity. This flies right in the face of advocacy from assisted suicide promoters that legalization is needed as a "safety valve" to protect against unrelievable suffering.

I predicted that unlike the bogus study claiming that there had been no abuses in euthanasia or assisted suicide--which received worldwide press coverage--this study would be ignored by the media. I was right: You can hear the crickets chirping. After a Google search I found zero stories letting people know that Oregon doctors write lethal prescriptions for people who are not experiencing serious symptoms of their diseases.
