Injecting Trouble

A plan to open “safe injection sites” in New York entails moral perversity.

Plans to open “safe injection sites” in New York City, long stalled, appear to be moving forward, though not at the speed that advocates would prefer. These sites, which Mayor Bill de Blasio prefers to call “overdose prevention centers,” will provide a place for drug addicts to inject themselves with narcotics, under medical supervision. When opioid users overdose, for example, medical personnel will be standing by to revive them.
