Anyone who asserts seriously that euthanasia/assisted suicide is “only for the terminally ill for whom nothing else can be done to alleviate suffering,” just doesn’t want to see the writing on the wall. We have seen euthanasia for the depressed approved in the Netherlands by that country’s high court previously. Now, the Swiss Supreme Court ruling allowing assisted suicide for the mentally ill that I alluded to earlier today, is being reported by the Herald Tribune.
