By Fr. Shenan J. Boquet, Human Life International - Many developed nations already have, or are considering, legalizing assisted suicide and euthanasia... Many recent stories, for instance, suggest that many doctors are casually offering suicide as a “treatment” to patients... St. Therese (once stated) “Watch carefully,” she told her sister, the mother superior of her convent, “when you will have persons a prey to violent pains; don’t leave near them any medicines that are poisonous. I assure you, it needs only a second when one suffers intensely to lose one’s reason. Then one could easily poison oneself.”
