2. "State assisted suicide"?
Don't they mean "execution"? How do they consider this a state assisted suicide? :shrug:

3. 5 of the last 8----7 of Jeb's 16 have been "volunteers"
Sam article from another source (couldn't link this one in the original post)

"Suicide-by-Governor is getting very popular in Florida," said FADP Director Abe Bonowitz, noting that five of the last eight Florida executions were of prisoners who waived their appeals and asked to be killed. So far Governor Bush has overseen the execution of 16 prisoners, seven of whom have been volunteers.

"Ocha committed a horrible crime and then demanded to be executed. Once again Governor Bush is playing into the hands of a convicted murderer who just wants to die. Why is it that the only way you can get an assisted suicide in this state is if you murder someone and go to death row?" asked Bonowitz
