The suicides of elderly couples were once mourned as a great tragedy. Now, with the coming of legalized assisted suicide, we are beginning to see them celebrated.
The couple’s children even recorded the lead-up to the death and made a documentary about the lethal event. And that film has now been promoted in an important health publication.
This is all very disturbing. The assisted-suicide movement is not only normalizing suicide as a legitimate act, but it seems to me, we are beginning in some cases to push it.
Meanwhile, The New England Journal 0f Medicine just published an article accepting the premise that “rational suicide” could be facilitated for the mentally ill, assuming strict guidelines. For those with eyes to see, let them see.
