I've already explained that there have been problems in States with assisted suicide laws - which is why I am against the concept. It is my understanding that in Oregon it is easy to get financial support for assisted suicide but not easy to get funding for Hospice. so guessing that you believe you are going to heaven, a great pain > free place. So where is the rush to leave? Now.....where did this come from??? I haven't mentioned anything about heaven. Life *is* a great gift. Every time I work I care for people who are desperately struggling to live just one more day. Some go through extraordinary efforts to do so. Once death occurs there are no second chances. Do you support the > current war and capital punishment? Just curious. Once again, where did this come from? We're talking about assisted suicide. Would you like me > deciding that you could NOT have extraordinary measures THAT COME FROM > SCIENCE NOT GOD to keep you alive? I don't want you to make any decisions about my life or death - which is why I do not care for laws permitting assisted suicide where someone could do exactly that. As for extraordinary means keeping me alive - that is my choice, as it is your's. A living will gives all of us control over what should be utilitzed to keep us alive. > > YOOU NEED TO LEEARN TAHT COMFORT IS NOT ASSUREDD. Please. I've been a nurse for 37 years and my husband has had PD for 25. I'm perfectly aware that comfort is not assured. ---------- Mary Ann ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
