This typically taboo topic has now come front and center. This forces us all to consider what would we do, and what we expect from others as well. On the one hand, no one wants to publicly state that they believe death should be promoted. After all, where does that as a society leave us? What's next, suicide booths? On the other, there are individual rights, dignity and choice. Much like in Old Yeller; we do know there are times when it is better to let go. Even easier than in Old Yeller (for those of us who don't have to face this painful decision, at least not today) is the fact that these are certified sane adults making their own decision, as they are approved beforehand by the trusted of society (doctors). Choice is a basic human right we all can agree we definitely want to provide. I am also reminded we all eventually die anyway and nothing we can do will stop that. Our only 'choice' then, when it comes to death; is merely to improve its timing.
