    • Abstract:
      The Death With Dignity Act before the D.C. Council does not countenance suicide. The Oct. 5 Metro article previewing the vote on the bill referred to medical aid in dying for the terminally ill as "physician-assisted suicide" ["Assisted-suicide law faces key council vote"]. Suicide, in my view, is when a healthy person willfully takes his or her life. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
