SHOOTING UP SICK ADDICTS A NEW TREATMENT LOW

Your article on the safe injection site states: "Addicts crippled and 
blinded by drug use and too sick to shoot themselves up are being helped by 
a volunteer team to get high safely."

It appears "harm reduction" has reached a new low when the advocates will 
volunteer to shoot up addicts who are so sick and disabled from the 
addiction that they can't shoot up themselves anymore.
