Thanks…that did it.
The problem is all states should have assisted dying laws in favor of.
I’m of the mind not only when one is terminal but also has reached a point when they are simply tired of living with perhaps mental stresses as well or just feel they’ve lived a good life and are ready to go. It should be our choice.
I would have acquitted. If she’d been in another state, it would not have had to be like this.
It’s called death with dignity.

many people argue that allowing death with dignity is a slippery slope

These are typically people whose minds are rotted with a religion that tells us that our lives are the property of their “God” and thus we are required to suffer at His whim. It trains our family and friends in proper obeisance.

I don’t either, Mary. I just clicked on the link and there it was. But I can summarize it, VERY briefly, His wife was dying of cancer and Lyme disease. They had discussed options, so she was more than willing to have this happen. One night he took a gun and shot her.
He is now being charged with manslaughter and will probably spend the rest of his life in jail.

He would have favored himself to document her wishes, have her sign and notarize. My regular doctor, Jack Kavorkian died a few years back. So far no one has stepped up to replace him.

My own father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this past October. He opted for pain management treatment only on November 3, 2018. He died, pain-free, on November 10, 2018. As much as I truly miss him, I am so grateful that he didn’t suffer needlessly. Mercy death is NOT an option for any legal action – period. If we have a right to life, then we have a right to death. Naked hugs, my Kenyan brother!

the fetishization of life for life’s sake is sickening. And it all seems to come from religion.
