New Mexico recently decriminalized physician-assisted suicide. Ten U. S. jurisdictions now sanction the practice, in addition to Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.

Pastor Salemink of Lutherans For Life examines what assisted suicide is, why it's dangerous, what the alternatives are, and what we can do to protect our communities.
