if anyone out there really cares. People tend to
feel alone in this world, that they often find the
need to do something excruciating to gain the
attention of loved ones. If society legalizes
assisted suicide, the message perceived by a
suicide attempted is not likely to be We respect
your wishes, but rather, We dont care if you live

Is Prohibition an Appropriate Standard? Richard
Dennis, the author of Chemical Dependence:
Opposing Viewpoints, says that The appropriate
standard in deciding if a drug should be mad; e
legal for adults ought to be whether it is more
