On August 4, 2018, the Kansas City Star published a guest commentary with this false statement:National and state level data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Vital Statistics System suggest that suicide rates have varied slightly, but overall have gone down in Oregon since its Death with Dignity Act went into effect in 1997.Per the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Oregon’s suicide rates WENT UP, NOT DOWN, 28.2 % See https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/suicide/infographic.html#graphic1
I REQUEST THAT THE KANSAS CITY STAR CORRECT THIS ERROR
