I want to write you a civil reply to this. First, if you havent seen it yet watch the documentary How To Die In Oregon. It was on YouTube at one point but not anymore. Get a hold of it however you need to if you havent seen it yet. Please watch it with a totally open mind, every person profiled in it chose death with dignity. They did a phenomenal job of telling their stories and articulating why they were choosing that option. Its real, raw, and yes it shows the actual process. I was once against it like you-because I thought the actual process was messy and painful. Its absolutely not, its fast, painless and you can basically customize it for each person and situation. When I finished watchhg it everything in it made total sense and I did a complete 360. I now fully support it and hope it becomes legal nationwide. Major headway has been achieved but weve got a long way to go still. The option is available to varying degrees in 11 out of 50 states right now. If you qualify for it you can now go to Oregon to do it even if youre not an Oregon resident. Its one of the most powerful documentaries youll ever see I guarantee that.

The end of some diseases like cancer isnt pretty at all, no one should want to naturally go through that. I support those with a terminal diagnosis that choose this, doing it before the disease completely incapacitates you or leaves you unconscious/in a coma hooked up to machines is the right choice. It lets the person end their lives on their terms, when they choose, at home with those who are important to them and avoids the nasty ends of horrible diseases.
