"In the old days, when people reached a certain point in life, they just wandered out into the desert and never came back. Seems to me they had the right idea. The problem nowadays is that, when you reach that point, you're usually hooked up to several machines in a hospital nowhere near a desert. What I'd like is for people to have the option of desert delivery service." Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought we could declare a no artificial life support order for ourselves and recieve assistance from there on out from Hospice. If I am wrong I would agree that we should be able to order that for ourselves, and that the laws should be changed to accommodate that kind of choice. If I am correct then we do have the option you are requesting. The problem comes when (probably for most people) this declaration has not been established and we find ourselves on life support with no ability do ask for it to be stopped. Maybe we can require people to check a box on their driver's licence. Under age people are required to have immunizations records to enter school, we could require this to be entered as well. Does this get us any closer to agreement? It is still not suicide, it is being allowed to die with dignity.
