"I agree Jerry about whose life is it anyway? Just like when the government tells a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. Whose uterus is it anyway?"

"Hello BK,
I feel your dilema. My daughter in kindergarten was told she was going to hell because she wasn't a baptist. She was 5 & did not even know what the meaning of heaven or hell. She came home in tears & had…"

"Thank you for all your condolences. And thank you for not calling me "emotive". I still believe religion is driving the laws for these types of events. We as humans can do better. I know death is a part of life,…"

"My wonderful father died 3.5 years ago at the age of 95. He suffered a lot in the months before he died. I don't know how much because he never was one to complain or even talk about it. But it was obvious that his body was…"

"Lucy,
My heart goes out to you. Such a difficult time. As time passes, memory shifts, and you remember more of the good, and less of the bad. At least that's how it's been for me.
It sometimes seems to me that…"

Legal Euthanasia - Death with Dignity

The Staff was caring & respectful but there was nothing peaceful or dignified about his passing. Not only am I traumatized & heartbroken, but I am filled with anger.
