French lawmakers consider assisted suicide

(SRN NEWS)-A vote is expected this week on legislation that would allow residents to take their own life with the help of a doctor.  Physician-assisted suicide has spread across much of Western Europe with Switzerland being the first nation to allow it.  Pro-life advocates and clergymen in France are urging the public to let their representatives know that they don’t want it.  Suicide opponents say the old and the disabled will be victimized by the French bill.
