Nicholas Kristof Biography
- Title:
- Columnist for The New York Times
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Should Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide Be Legal?"
- Reasoning:
-
“The Oregon [Death With Dignity] law deserves to be upheld. It forces us to examine the question of what is special about human life. The answer, I think, is the autonomy and dignity inherent in our individuality — in making hard decisions for ourselves and determining our own destinies. Oregon honors that vision of what is sacred about life.”
