Warning sounded to UK as Oregon assisted suicide deaths hit record high | LifeSiteNews.com

The following excerpts are from LifeSiteNews.com:

Lord Falconer has just announced that he is about to introduce a new bill into the House of Lords to legalise assisted suicide along the lines of the Oregon model – assisted suicide for mentally competent adults who have less than six months to live.

Falconer’s bill, however, only requires a twelve month life expectancy and so is thereby even more liberal than Oregon’s.
