Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide: Symptoms of a Culture of Death - It is Time to Stand up and Speak Up
Would you like to live in a society that allows some citizens to kill others or to help them commit suicide? Would you like medical students - those who will soon be you doctors - to learn not only how to heal, but how to kill?
