  2. CW: MAID, medically assisted death.

    youtu.be/tY8pG4JGjNU?si=zoXimv

    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.

  7. Poignant opinion piece:

    "I'm dying of ALS – and my wife has to watch me suffer. Change the law for people like us.”

    usatoday.com/story/opinion/voi

    Having been with a friend as he "voluntarily died" from #ALS, I wholeheartedly support this.

  12. 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 essential 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

  22. @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.

  27. 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.

    > 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.

  37. 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.
