"Has civilization lost its collective mind? How long before the population can take things into its own hands? How long before murder and manslaughter become assisted suicide?"  Ms. Zagano, this is not worthy of you.  This is going from zero to 100 in 3 seconds.  This is catastrophizing.  I would have liked to have read an article against Assisted Suicide based on Scripture and Church laws.  Secondly, Oregon was the first Assisted Suicide State -- I don't remember the date but it was many year ago -- and very few residents have taken advantage of it.  There is no proof that Medical Aid in Dying/Assisted Suicide is a steep Swiss ski run.
