The New York Times picked up the story thread yesterday.
The assisted suicide lobby has no more faithful friend, no more aggressive advocate or vociferous cheerleader than the Times.
We've long since come to expect that the publication whose motto is "all the news that's fit to print" would only print news about assisted suicide that says it "honors" patient's wishes and avoids having it done "underground or covertly, with hushed tones," as Barbara Coombs Lee, the president of pro-euthanasia Compassion and Choices, told the Times yesterday.
Robbie Brown's "Arrests of Right-to-Die Officials Focus New Attention on Assisted Suicide" is far more balanced than the usual legalize-this-now-or-you-are-an-uncaring-cad malarkey we are accustomed to reading in the Times. . .
