Regarding the nomination by Trump of Supreme Court justice Gorsuch:
The Washington Post article of 1 Feb.2017 contains a particularly interesting paragraph:
“If his writing is any indication, Gorsuch seems to have been alarmed by the sudden proliferation in the mid-1990s and early-2000s of proposals seeking to legalize physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia. He also cites the flurry of articles, books and defenses that emerged after the late Dr. Jack Kevorkian made headlines in 1990 for helping an Alzheimer’s patient kill herself.
“One particular work that seemed to bother him was Final Exit, a popular book by the right-to-die organization the Hemlock Society that describes various methods of ‘self-deliverance,’ including suicide by plastic bag and firearm.”
Gorsuch’s book, The Future of Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia (New Forum Books) Gorsuch, Neil M. is available on Amazon books.
