My cousin chose euthanasia after a long battle with terminal cancer. It gave his family much-needed closure and the ability to know when they would have to say goodbye.
I live in the only state in the union with legal doctor-assisted suicide. The people of Oregon have not only passed the law once with a majority, but twice. The last time it passed with a 70% approval. Yet the Bush administration and Attorney General John Ashcroft wish to push their beliefs on our state, and the federal government has tried to stop our law from taking effect several times. (Aren't the Republicans pro-states' rights?)
I fully support euthanasia. I know I would want the choice were I to face such a situation.
