These are good arguments for an assisted suicide ban from someone who has to send lawyers into a courtroom. The Legislature ought to act. The Netherlands' experience provides one appalling example. And here in Michigan, there are indications that vulnerable people suffering from depression have gone into eternity after visits with Jack Kevorkian. Of course, if the Legislature does not act, the prosecutors should still prosecute assisted suicides under the common law, if the circumstances are suitable.
Law is law - whether precedencial or statutory.
