I’m for doctor assisted dying

I think if a person has a terminal illness and their quality of life is terrible and they are in so much pain they have a right to end their suffering in a humane painless way. Give these people their dignity when dying. Why cause them more suffering than they already have to endure? Let them say goodbye to their loved ones and end their suffering.

Diane Rehm wrote an excellent book on the topic, "On My Own." It tells of the lingering death of her husband, who wanted a physician to help him die rather than suffer the painful, sad dying process of his terminal illness. No doctor could legally help him, so he chose to refuse all food until he died in hospice care. They kept him comfortable. There has to be a better way.
