It's a nice, although expensive, way to meet and discuss the subject with informed and like minded people. However, it is an immensely important subject that needs to be part of a national, if not, worldwide debate. Currently, religion and medicine have a white knuckle grip on the throat of assisted suicide that it is a political "third rail" for politicians and the only traction has been on the State level.

For me, it's very personal, having watched my only sibling and both my parents die horribly because medical science is extending life without improving the quality of life. And doctors have convinced themselves that doping us up to the point where they are comfortable saying, "It looks like he's suffering, but he's not aware of the agony. Try to ignore that he is gasping for breath, defecating his liquefied organs and writhing in agony." It's a lie and it completely ignores the horrendous experience loved ones must endure during the process of dying and for years afterwards.

I think we should not be wasted and should be recycled as fertiliser or something useful rather than paying loads of money to get burned or make a cemetery really fertile that takes up loads of room and doesn't do any good. if someone dies I will feel however I'm going to feel at the moment of hearing the news. I don't need anything else for myself either.

This sounds like a lovely way to go out. Is there a market? Hmmm. Perhaps. The religious of the world would likely go nuts. At least many of those of the Christian persuasion would flip their shit.
