[quote=Anonymous]I'm an RN and I've seen a lot of people whose quality of life is very limited/minimal. I really do not want to be alive if I can't independently take care of myself (whatever that age may be). I hope that assisted suicide is something that becomes more of a feasible option here in the U.S. If not, I hope that if I were to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's or some other debilitating or terminal illness I'm able to travel to Switzerland (or another country where it's legal) to do it. I know it's quite an extensive process. I recently read a memoir title (In Love by Amy Bloom) about the writer's husband's dementia diagnosis and subsequent assisted suicide-it's a difficult and time consuming endeavor. [/quote]
