Commentary
​In my first ever anti-euthanasia piece, which was published in Newsweek in 1993, I warned that legalizing assisted suicide would lead to organ harvesting of those killed by doctors “as a plum to society.” For my trouble, I was called alarmist and hysterical—and those were the nice letters.
