Oh how I wish MO had this law. My mother suffers from dementia and its just not fair. Animals are put down if they are suffering. Thank you for sharing this.

Shingles...hell do I remember shingles. Misdiagnosed so the damned thing got a real grip before correct medication administered.

I want to add another part to this. I had my physical this week and was told I needed to update my Shingles vaccine. When I went to our local pharmaacy the owner walked up to me and we had a lengthy talk about this subject. He said they support the program and are always trying to get the word out because few people even know it exists (he said my letter helped a lot). He also said there is a group that subsidizes the final meds because they can cost upwards of $1,500. He said there was a case and he received a check and was told to just put it aside in case someone needed it. He also said that most of the time people get started on the path to Death with Dignity but succumb before the program can be administered.

With my late partner it took longer than we wanted and just hours before the meds. were delivered she went into a coma and died several hours later. I donated the drugs back into the system.

This video is as it should be but government began as theocracy, therefore crap in, crap out - unless people unite and overcome the influence of people who profit from end of life events. Generally speaking though, brainwashing people with religon is good for business!

What a beautiful story. I really respect their decision. My uncle died of Parkinson's and it was scary and painful to watch my favorite uncle suffer like that. My aunt was diagnosed shortly after that with leukemia and went through chemo at 90years old, dying within a year. My uncle was close to 90. If two people who have been married that long-65 years-want to die together and time is their ally why not?
