111 terminally ill end lives under new California law

As a die hard (poor choice of words?) pro-lifer, I am in favor of this as a way out, based on certain criteria. I saw what my neighbor, a retired AF O-6, went through for the last few months of his life. Had he made that decision and carried it out, he not have gone through the extreme pain and suffering of his family until he passed away. A very personal decision but, I lean towards it being a very personal choice. Not the government's choice, JMHO.

I don't believe int his. I am sorry if my views offend but when I die it isn't on my time or terms. Even through painful sickness and death, God can use every situation to bring glory to Him. I just don't think it is right to be able to commit suicide because of a terminal illness. I had my father who was diagnosed one year and died the next. Throughout that year he praised God and let us know that through it all it brought us all closer together and that when he died, he went to be with God. My wifes aunt showed more grace and love through her year of cancer and it showed true colors of others good and bad and others heard the gospel of Jesus when they came to visit her. I just don't agree with taking your own life through prescription meds. It is bad enough that we lose 22 veterans a day to suicide when their bodies are mostly healthy but their minds are a wreck. Just don't think the government should regulate and allow us to decide when it is time to die.

Sgt Wayne Wood One of the untold stories of the Oregon law is this: my mother in-law was offered this option in 2004. She accepted and at the last minute decided against. She lived until 2016 and had a mostly pain free, full life until the last 2.5 years. There are far too few regulations on this program. The doctor should never have been able to offer this option to a woman who had 12+ years left.
