We Need To Oppose Assisted Suicide & Euthanasia Strategically, Not Emotionally

There are many things that divide those of us who oppose assisted suicide and euthanasia. Religion, or lack thereof, is one. There are some faith-based groups who wouldn’t be seen dead within 100 miles of hard-lefties on these issues, and certainly vice-versa. So, imagine what might happen if we came across those in Islam who stand on our side!! We all have to decide how to move strategically rather than emotionally, and, for all of us, that might be quite a challenge.
