A debate about medical interventions is currently going on in my state legislature. The hearing on the bill was truly heartbreaking. Your heart goes out to the families, many of whom are confused and upset--there expectations have been turned upside down. I must say, though, that the advocates do themselves no favors, and their supporters on the committee resorted to personal attacks against one witness who calmly and cogently dismantled the popular notions about suicide rates, etc., with, uh, facts. But, such attacks are all they have, perhaps because deep down they know they could be wrong about all of this. Thanks--keep up with this reporting.
