Dutch group endorses right to suicide for elderly

A campaign to give elderly people in the Netherlands the right to assisted suicide said it has gathered more than 100,000 signatures, hoping to push the boundaries another notch in the country that first legalized euthanasia. The "Of Free Will" campaign said the group had hoped for 40,000 signatures. The group proposes training non-doctors to administer a lethal potion to people over the age of 70 who "consider their lives complete" and want to die. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
