Other groups such as the elderly, the disabled, or even the depressed or suicidal are being swept up into this movement of self deliverance. These are tempting enticements to those who hurt.

Tada offers to help those who are assisted death measures on their state ballots and wonder when legalized suicide will become a reality.
