[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can think of nothing more satisfying for a person with a terminal illness than sitting in a glass-paneled room overlooking the Swiss Alps, taking medication, and just falling into an eternal sleep.

I'd take my family & close friends, have a few days of good meals and wine and enjoyable conversation (to the extent this is physically possible), and then exit the earth.

How is this less preferrable than suffering for months or years in a hospital or some under-staffed memory care center?[/quote]

If you can travel, eat meals, drink wine and have a conversation, you shouldn’t be dying. And I don’t think you would want to. I think dying even a day too soon is selfish and will leave your loved ones in terrible pain and possibly regrets and a feeling of guilt.[/quote]

You’ve clearly not watched someone suffer.  Stay blessed.   You don’t force someone to stay alive for you.  How about the terrible pain the person choosing to die is in?[/quote]

Let's say we withhold pain medication and then give them a choice of living with the pain or choosing to die? Was that really a choice?[/quote]
