[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been working in hospice care for the last seven years so I think about this a LOT. I have already saved toward the trip I will take to a country or state that has medical aid in dying. I hope my own state will have it when the time comes, we are on the fast track to passing such legislation. However I continue to save because our puritanical influences in the USA mean most medical aid in dying is only available to people with a <6 months life expectancy due to documented terminal illness. I would like to be able to get my phenobarbital cocktail as soon as I start having symptoms of significant cognitive impairment that could advance to where I am no longer considered competent to request medical aid in dying.[/quote]
