New Campaign Aims to Legalize Physician-Assisted Suicide

Under such a law, doctors could prescribe lethal medications to patients who are terminally ill. Advocates launched a series of online ads last week as part of a new campaign to legalize physician-assisted suicide. Still, it could take years for the effort to yield any results.
