The Making of an Activist

from What It Means to Be Human · host Wesley Smith

Usually after a suicide, those who were close to the deceased person wonder why, grieve, and finally go on with their lives. But I had a queasy feeling that there was more to Frances death than appeared on the surface. It was as if she had somehow been encouraged to pursue death. Yet, I knew her friends had all tried to persuade her to embrace life. I decided to investigate. Visit my blog at www.wesleyjsmith.com/blog/.
