Assisted suicide promotes the meme that suicide is a proper response to suffering. (The “terminal illness” modifier is a con, and doesn’t stick anywhere that a society generally accepts the premise.)

When suicide is pushed for some, others also get the message. Now, a study published in the Southern Medical Journal finds a significant increase in suicides where assisted suicide is legal.

Don’t expect the media to cover. They generally ignore bad news about assisted suicide.

So, if you are interested in more details, I discuss more fully over at Human Exceptionalism.
