I find sanity in following global news. I watch progress from afar.

The people of Oregon, Washington D.C., Hawaii, Washington, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, California, and Vermont would disagree with you.
After being the primary hospice caregiver for a parent this makes more sense than ever before.

MizJ:
@SeaGreenEyez When one is the primary hospice caregiver for a family member the experience is intense and complex. There are all the chores and stress of any caregiving layered with grief and being freaked out. There are some wonderful moments mixed in.
Three of my relatives have done home hospice. The person is far less stressed and comfortable. As they get closer to passing allowing assisted suicide would be a kindness. The final stage is brutal for all involved and unnecessary, it adds nothing to their life.
I have mixed feelings, but as long as there are safeguards in place, it should be a right.

I’ve always thought it was so strange that we Americans think nothing of making the decision for our pets who are old and frail and in pain but we can’t do that for one another as human beings.
