Negative Space: assisted suicide
- Costs of assisted suicide
- Neil Gorsuch writes about the “unintended consequences” of legalizing assisted suicide in the Wisconsin Law Review.
- Misplaced compassion: more deaths, less dignity

- Oregon’s physician-assisted suicide
- The federal government has the power to keep effective doses of pain reduction medication from patients, but not lethal doses of medication.
- Phase 1: Reforming health care
- Our current health care system works so poorly we want to expand it: instead of a bunch of huge organizations vying for the attention of multiple employers, we’re going to have a few (at best) even bigger organizations vying for the attention of government bureaucrats. Why not come up with some reform that actually reforms?
