Bioethics.com, the blog of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity published Wesley Smith's excellent review of a British report on so-called "Physician Assisted Suicide."
PAS is not medicine in any sense of the word. Medicine, at the very least involves the intention of bringing health to the body and relief from unpleasant symptoms. It can never mean killing. We don't end suffering by ending the patient.
It's worth your time to read the excerpts.

Hi, Beverly. Thanks for the nice plug. And thanks for all of your comments on Secondhand Smoke--even when we disagree.
