Assisted suicide has led to higher suicide rate in Oregon

Assisted suicide has led to higher suicide rate in Oregon: A doctor from Oregon writes: "In September 2010, the Oregon Health Authority released statistics that show our suicide rate is 35 percent higher than the national average. This rate has been “increasing significantly since 2000.” Second, the number of persons dying under our assisted suicide law has been steadily increasing. Third, and yet another distinction for Oregon, we now rank dead last in paid ombudsmen who advocate for the elderly."
