I Want To Prevent Suicide
How will you die?
If you are a north American person under the age of 50, you will probably commit suicide if the insurance companies have their way. So far, they've made a lot of progress in the U.S.
According to the stats I've read, about 40% of Americans who die do not have a deathbed--they die suddenly, accident, stroke, heart attack, etc. But 60% have a deathbed. Those are the ones who will have pressure put on them to die with assisted suicide. My own guess is they'll simply withdraw pain meds during the last days, weeks or months of life because the insurance companies won't pay for them past a certain point.
Please--read this book. It will really give you something to think about:
