My article shows #assistedsuicide is a recent concept and #euthanasia is about compassion and social utility: Suicide versus Euthanasia in the American Press in the 1890s and 1900s: “A Man Should be Permitted to Go Out of This World Whenever He Sees Fit”

To my detractors: The only motivation for #assistedsuicide that is not allowed anywhere in the world is monetary. This is the ugliness behind your campaign for #assisteddying. Live with it.

But this is #assisteddying. Surely, the defendant was empowering his victim; calling her "vulnerable" is very patronising, no?

No need to worry, folks. We will soon free up more beds by killing patients. It seems like so long ago that we were assured we would have quality palliative care AND #assistedsuicide. Don't say you weren't warned.
