Suicide is not legally sanctioned in the USA.
It is not sanctioned?
My uncle's parkinson's disease progressed to a point where he couldn't swallow. His powers of speech and mobility were long-gone too. He made it clear that he didn't want the feeding tube, and equally clear that he understood the consequences. He was gone in a few days.
Was that suicide?
Oregon has assisted suicide laws on the books.
"Suicide is not legally sanctioned in the USA."
Someone forgot to tell Greer that.
