Camilla, you have such a wonderful way of stating such a touchy subject. I do agree that this is definetly a question of choice.There are times when taking this route is a choice of very rational minds. I agree that those should be respected as such. A person who chooses death over a life of pain and debility should have the respect and comfort of their loved ones. CD victims, on the other hand need medical care as well as the support of family and friends. This list has such a diversity of personalties and beliefs. Plus some very outspoken individuals. Being one of those outspoken persons myself, I say we need to try to give everyone the courtesy of being allowed to speak their piece. AS LONG AS IT IS NOT AN ATTACK ON ANYONE! Nuff said for now!
