But at a recent Senate committee hearing, Senator James Lankford (R., Okla.) asked HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about his thoughts on assisted suicide. Kennedy was unequivocal&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kennedy<\/strong>: To me, I think those laws are abhorrent. And we just see in Canada today, I think the number one cause of death is assisted suicide, and as you say, it targets people with disabilities and people who are struggling in their lives. And I don\u2019t think we can be a moral society, we can\u2019t be a moral society around the globe if that becomes institutionalized throughout our society.
