NY Times endorses assisted suicide/euthanasia

No surprise. They backed it when "Dr." Kevorkian was doing his thing, but then kind of steered away from it after initial enthusiasm. Kevorkian was just a little too tacky for their taste.

The editorial contains the usual verbal engineering we've come to expect from "progressive" policies. the editorial is 11 paragraphs long.

The right-to-die movement has strong opponents, including the Catholic Church, which opposes any form of suicide. Meanwhile, some medical professionals argue that the practice is at odds with their mission as healers and worry that it could be abused. Unfortunately, many Americans associate the issue with Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a notorious advocate of assisted suicide who was convicted in 1999 of murder and who aided dozens of patients, many of whom were not terminally ill, in ending their lives.
