Here is a link to an important story by Dave Andrusko who discusses a recent Time magazine op-ed by two researchers from the Hastings Center who argue that new tests that may make it possible to detect Alzheimer’s before symptoms of dementia have developed should open up conversations about assisted suicide. Andrusko’s title (“Finding a Justification for Assisted Suicide that Trades on Our Worst Fears”) gives a sense of where the conversation is headed. http://www.nationalrighttolifenews.org/news/2011/07/finding-a-justification-for-assisted-suicide-that-trades-on-our-worst-fears/#more-3067
