...which scholars estimate was written in the fourth century B.C., includes the unambiguous statement: I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan. (The oath, which most modern doctors do not take, also includes a promise not to perform abortions.) (See the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs...
...group based in Marietta, Ga., that is accused of assisted suicide, has revived the right-to-die debate that was fueled in the 1990s by Jack Kevorkian, the Michigan doctor who assisted in the deaths of 130 terminally ill people.

Joon herself eventually acknowledges this discrepancy in storytelling; “Who knew where or when this was,” she wonders, as her junkie roommate tries to convince her to perform an abortion on herself using bleach and a tampon. Having rendered her own credibility as a narrator questionable, the story is further complicated by blunt, unprecedented chronological leaps that often reveal a character’s future demise within a short, humorous story. As this fatalistic narrative proceeds, Mun attempts...
