CW: MAID, medically assisted death.
https://youtu.be/tY8pG4JGjNU?si=zoXimv7sm2dq6PRY
My thoughts :
We should all have the autonomy to decide when it's time, and to die with dignity. Society is far more merciful to animals than to humans in that regard. I don't understand why some faith-based institutions/religions try to block MAID for total strangers who don't share their beliefs. (Same with abortion). Let people decide for themselves. I wish this gracious lady and her family all of the best. -

Poignant opinion piece:
"I'm dying of ALS – and my wife has to watch me suffer. Change the law for people like us.”
Having been with a friend as he "voluntarily died" from #ALS, I wholeheartedly support this.
I wasn't aware of this organisation, but it seems worth supporting:

Delaware Online says HB140 End of Life Options bill is the Right Thing to Do!
It's all about patient choice and autonomy.
Republicans, who always tout ‘freedom’ were vehemently against HB140 (freedom only for things they support, like guns and no vaccines or masks!)

It never fails to horrify me that some feel that we should be far more merciful to our pets and animals than we are to ourselves and our fellow human beings.
The right to #deathwithdignity when, where, and how we determine it is an essnential human right.Today, I sent a letter to my MP in support of legislation to amend Canada’s assisted dying law and make advance requests for MAID legal. If you want to send your own letter, visit @dyingwithdignity.ca :

"No, thank YOU" ;-) for bringing that article to attention.
I've opted to write a reply to the columnist, using [email protected], as a result.
I want to suggest to that columnist to watch what Vice Presidential candidate #TimWalz says about #politicians & #government in general having a say in #reproductiverights because I see a parallel to the #right to #DeathWithDignity. Tim sums it up nicely, I think. #PBS

@AmerLiberal Agreed. Here, in Oregon, the state has had a #DeathWithDignity Act on the books since October 27, 1997. I'm not sure how I feel about Governments mandating individual rights in general, but in this case, I'm satisfied to have the state somewhat protect an individual's right to their own physical autonomy. I question gov't setting ANY conditions, just to appease religion.

IMO (in contrast to👇) there are NOT two reasonable sides to the question of legalizing the RIGHT to #DeathWithDignity!!! Every adult deserves the right to choose the timing/means of their death!! Those who prefer lingering/suffering will always have that option.

The Medical Aid in Dying bill just passed in the Delaware Senate. Now it goes to Governor Carney. Let’s hope he allows SB140 to become law in our State

The Strength It Takes to Suffer
JAMA Internal Medicine“There comes a time when attempts to fix, change, or alter inevitable death poses great harm. Some clinicians think aggressive symptom management, more psychosocial support, or better spiritual care will avoid requests for hastened death. But some suffering is beyond palliation if not accompanied by fundamental respect, autonomy, and freedom of choice."

#Bodilyautonomy, as my #grandmother’s #struggle showed me, is indeed a #universal #humanright.
We can protect that by supporting the #EndofLifeOptionsAct in the #Minnesota #Legislature.

> By the end it hurt her to even smile, let alone laugh. “I think I’ve rather gone off God,” she said slowly and painfully, the day before she died. “I think he’s fucking mean.”
Diana Rigg was my first crush, back in the 60s when I was a tiny lad, and this article made me weep.

There's a Boston Globe poll about whether the Massachusetts Legislature should pass the “End of Life Options Act” providing for Medical Aid in Dying aka Death with Dignity. This is *only* for people in the last months of their lives - as certified by multiple health professionals - to take control of their own passing.
As a parent who watched her adult daughter slowly die of cancer in home hospice, I ask you to please vote YES.

Vermont opens Medical aid in dying to non-residents 🙏
“The #Vermont Legislature has passed and the Governor has signed a bill removing the residency requirement from Act 39, the Patient Choice at End of Life law. This means that providing medical aid in dying to anyone in Vermont regardless of their legal state of residency is now legal.”

Let's all support ALL of our rights to make our own decisions about our own bodies! Abortion rights, gender-affirming care, AND the right to make our own choice for #DeathWithDignity when the time comes.

@jilllightner do any of the secular systems offer that either though? (Not that that makes Catholic control better… but it was my impression you basically have to find a private practitioner to get a #DeathWithDignity prescription

@Angry_RN @nekodojo @CaptMorgan @dusnm @wiseguyeddie -
YES, YES, and YES. AND abortion and contraception and interracial marriages, and #DeathWithDignity, etc.
Those are the reasons I decided to openly label myself #Atheist!
