Alan Nichols “was basically put to death” in a Toronto hospital, his brother Gary told the Associated Press. Nichols was 61 years old, with a history of depression. When he was hospitalized for the possibility of suicide, he asked his brother to “bust him out” as soon as possible. Within a month, he applied to be euthanized. “His application for euthanasia listed only one health condition as the reason for his request to die: hearing loss.”
The AP report may help usher in a turning point where the West pauses to consider what the push for medically assisted suicide has done to medicine.
