 What if you knew that legalizing assisted suicide meant that sick and
disabled people, who don't ask to die, nonetheless would be killed? That's
the central question that Sacramento lawmakers will have to address as
they consider a bill to legalize assisted suicide to be introduced by
Assembly member Patty Berg, D-Eureka. Simple fact: After The Netherlands
essentially decriminalized the practice of assisted suicide and
euthanasia, a government report conducted by Jan Remmelink found that
1,000 patients were killed without requesting to die in 1990, and 900 in 1995.
