There is a book out titled 'Final Exit' (I have a copy) that outlines easy and less painful ways of relieving one's painful existence. An aunt of mine (she was 89) was suffering from extreme depression and was put in a home. She simply stopped eating. It is supposed to be hard at first but then it get very easy. Better get it now before some republican bans it from the stores.

Here's a letter I wrote that got printed in all three of our papers. [sanjuanjournal.com] Note the NPR link at the end. This addresses your comment.

Florida is really easy to hate.
Especially with DeathSantis and all now.

I thought the author mentioned that Florida was singled out because of its extra large population of elderly people since it is a retirement destination for many.

@BufftonBeotch The vast majority of Florida voters reelected him. Why do you hate Democracy?

@Lorajay Perhaps.

Unfortunately there is a bureaucracy and rules. The biggest concern was that someone would use the program to bump off a rich family member. Also, there had to be a big debate on the word 'suicide.' With many groups suicide is a negative word (like churches and insurance companies). So one had to be able to put the method of death as that which one was suffering and would have resulted in death. That, often meant sound in mind and some bodily abilities.

Unfortunately, not in Florida or Texass. Often there's a financial issue. People have little choice in conservative states. There suffering is the price one needs to pay to meet Jesus. In the more civilized states (as along the west coast (including Hawaii) Canada and several other states we have the Death with Dignity program. My late partner signed up for this and was actually excited to be able to control her own death.

After the cancer progressed and further treatment was no longer an option my wife and I opted for hospice care. I say opted because at any time I could have taken her home to die there instead of at the hospital. That was in Texas. My question, “Was Kate’s mother forced to stay in hospice care?” Is that choice not available in Florida?

Unfortunately the gods do enter. The issue is total hypocrisy (and what isn't with theses people). They say taking one's life in their own hands is playing God and immoral. BUT they go to any length to preserve their own life (do we see a bit of doubt here). I have said 'These people can't wait to meet jesus, but not just yet.

@jackjr God only enters the legal debate because we allow Thou to enter it. The people could stop such entrances but they haven't the time or commitment so we get corruption of law.
