I agree with Dr. Steve Bergeson ( Aid in dying is not the help sick Minnesotans need, Opinion Exchange, March 3) that the End of Life Option Act proposed by state Sen. Chris Eaton and Rep. Mike Freiberg is the wrong way to help sick Minnesotans. Assisted suicide normalizes suicide. Assisted suicide devalues the sick, the disabled, the elderly and the poor, those who do not have access to proper care for mental illness. Assisted suicide leads to a view that our lives only have value if we are productive, rather than recognizing the inherent value of all human beings. And isn t this failure to recognize the value of each person at the heart of the abuses we see around us: racism, murder, bullying, sexual exploitation?

I can’t tell you how many times as a performer I’ve shown up for a soundcheck, guitar in hand, only to be asked if I was a roadie or a fan. The assumption is never that I might be there to play an instrument, let alone a guitar. But this is nothing new early blues women that played guitar didn’t receive equal attention, either.

Heroes Star Leonard Roberts Details Conflict With Co-Star Ali Larter and Producers Due to Racism
Former star of cult-favorite TV series
Heroes Leonard Roberts, who played the intangible D.L. Hawkins in the first season of the series, penned a powerful essay detailing harassment and marginalization experienced while filming the hit NBC show. The essay published by Variety explored many issues Roberts experienced during his short tenure as a series regular, including conflicts with his on-screen wife and co-star Ali Larter.
