Will New York’s nuns be compelled to advertise assisted suicide?

The thrust of the law is that terminally ill patients with a prognosis of six months or less can request drugs to end their lives. But it is demonstrably untrue that assisted suicide is no more than an issue between a patient and his or her caregiver. Once assisted suicide is entrusted to the medical profession and the state, it becomes everybody’s concern. No government has ever developed effective, enforceable guardrails to prevent abuse, despite repeated claims by assisted suicide advocates. The Western world has become a slippery slope for assisted suicide.
