“Assisted Suicide Goes to Vote in Massachusetts”

Disability rights activist John Kelly says legalized suicide sends a damaging message that certain lives aren’t worth living. He’s also concerned that death by prescription will appeal to a health care system focused on the bottom line. “With cost controls, hospitals losing money, profit-making insurance companies, we’re always hearing about the incredible expense in the last year of life, And this is a way to save that money,” Kelly said.
