In its December 15 edition, The Bridge published an editorial opposing taking up assisted suicide in the 2012 legislative session. The editorial calls instead for legislative priority to be given to “measures that will support people at the end of their lives”. It laments the sad fact that many dying Vermonters lack “adequate food, housing, medical, financial, and social supports”.
Here’s a link to the newspaper:

Thank you, editors of the Bridge!
