Well here goes, I hope that I am doing this right. I am posting this article because these things bother me: Lets start of with the first question; who is in charge of your own life? (we made all the decisions in life that ultimately get us as far as we can with the given tools) BUT I ask But why can't we be able to control what happens to us when we become extremely ill and don't want to burden others to care for us, or what if we don't want to go through radiation or chemotherapy? Now get this one" what if we don't have insurance to care for our illness and we are forced to suffer because we can't afford our prescriptions. Please tell me really, I wake up in the morning and say Hmmm I really don't want to go to work but I have to keep the roof over my families head or the kids are going to college and or the heck with it I am calling in sick because I want to go golfing. Those are decisions that we are able to make without some kind of ramification, unless theres a pattern. (I think you can see my point) A Doctor went to jail for something I totally agree on, self assisted reduction of care. (AKA assisted suicide). Now there is the easy way out suicide and the Help me suicide. I am more focused on the Help me method because that is what I am writing about. Ok here goes, scenerial: Your in your 40's stage 4 lung cancer and it has spread. Basically until the cells in your body stop producing you will be able to function for the most part. Radiation/Chemo was an option and whether you believed in it or not dosen't matter or what if you had no medical insurance to pay for the prescriptions. Within that time period that you are able to make sound judgement, which should be offered even if you have no pre existing medical demise. This is your life not the Governments" Here are some of the simple guidelines that congress should abide by. 1. Are you able to make sound and acceptable judgement? Yes or No (Yes) 2. Consult in 3 independent psychiatric psycisians to make sure your judgement is what you say it is and that your wishes are not of anyone else but yourself. 3.Make out your will and with the reports of all 3 psycisians, all you need is 2-3 vote of confidence. 4.Realize that all life insurance policies will be null-in-void because of assistance to peace. 5.When the time comes and you are ready make a call and someone will either come to your house or whereever and halp you move on to a better place.

No folks is that too hard to ask for? Why can't we take charge of our own destiny. I have personally lost 4 loved ones to cancer and let me tell you it's not pretty. Yes you get to say goodbye but every hour your loved one is suffering. When you have a head ache you suffer RIGHT? So what do you do? I take asprin and lay down and hope it goes away" My choice. Am I making sence? If not I would love to hear from you, I am not looking to see people die but when facing a life threatning illness let's put the word DIGNITY into affect. Thank you for reading this and I would love to hear back from you. Live like you want to be loved, it's possible. Love is free if you know how to achieve it. Joe
