Hello
I was watching the news this morning and the supreme overturned the ban on assisited suicide. They did say it would take about a year to take affect. Just to clarify , this is in Canada..

i just watched a documentary about oregon "assisted suicide"
it's not like you go to a dr & they insert needles & put you down like our pets.

there is an "advocate" that works with the patient from begining to end.
there is a choice of 2 different meds (pills) that you get an overdose prescription & then can put away until you decide to use it.
one lady had a date planned as she had cancer, but she felt so good that she put off doing it for another year, but always "knew" the meds & advocate where there any time she chose"

so she had this bunch of pills & the advacote (kind of reminded me of a hospice nurse) come to her home when she "chose",
the patient got comfy, they mixed up all the pills into a drink, patient drank it, layed down & within 15 minutes fell asleep & was gone....
so it is done at home, with the one nurse, you can have family or not there---
it was weird to watch, but interesting & informative & gave me things to think of.
it may not be what i want, but seems like it a choice that ti people should have the right to.

ps. that was my opinion ony :)

I think everyone has their own thoughts and conviction about this. There is no right or wrong with this. I respect what ever anyone chooses. Although, I would prefer no one chooses death. For where there is life there is hope. My opinion. And I have thought about it a lot.
