Wherever assisted suicide is legalized, family members are told that it is a tool that ends suffering. Their experience, however, tells a very different story. Euthanasia activists promised that the path to lethal injection would be narrow and with high guardrails and intermittent checkpoints. The reality, however, is a virtually unpoliced four-lane highway with no speed limit, and people with suicidal ideation and depression, conditions that may be treated and cured, are needlessly and cynically killed.
