Posted November 11, 2016 Just as Bitbanger stated about hospice offerings of a drug -induced ending of our loved ones, or our own last days until the passage of life- this shouldn't have to be our only option. I don't let my beloved animals in my life suffer needlessly. They let us know when it is their time to go. As hard as this decision is we have given our critters this right. We too should have this right. After having gone through a extreme course of chemotherapy and its many nasty side effects, surgery and then radiation in 2015, I can understand some on how a person could come to this decision. Because I cannot honestly say how much more I would be willing to take to save my life. I do believe we should be able to say -when we have had enough. All the medical procedures in the world do not always work. It is our decision alone to make, only then we can include our family members on the choice we have made. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 17, 2016 Faith and determination makes the impossible possible. I wonder if the will to fight will be lost...... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 24, 2016 I went to a town hall discussion on this topic. I am fervently in favor of the end of life options, and I'm glad it passed handily in Colorado. People would get up and say, the lord said, "Thou shalt not kill" and just sit down as if they had the end-all argument. As an atheist, I got up and said my own piece. The whole thing devolved into a war of words. It was not pretty. Bottom line is that it's been fine in Oregon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
