E'Lane "but to put your health, well-being or eyesight at risk for either of these reasons is just hard for me to imagine".
==============================================================

E'Lane, I think this problem will not exist for long.The docs will take care of it. Sooner or later, reality ( ie side effects, deaths, drug interactions, lawsuits ), will set in in the currently wide-eyed wonder-Viagra-stricken docs cum Urologists. Their prescribing pen will be mightily arrested and the patient will not get his death wish from him ( the doc ).Remember just because the patient is ready and willing to jump off the bridge, does not mean the law will be so understanding. the aggrieved family ( with $$$$$$ signs in front of their eyes ) will argue in court that the good doc did not make a sufficient effort to impress on the patient the seriousness of the situation.
Now, .......... could DrKevorkian help with dying wishes? I don't know, although I think his license has been lifted in Michigan.Maybe these ptients can petition the Michigan Medical Board to restore his licanse.Yes, I know he is a pathologist, but in the USA, ( even around the world ), any pathologist with a valid medical license to practice medicine can prescribe drugs.
And finally, E'Lane, I know that " all this is hard for you to imagine ', but don't forget: " love is blind ", gg,
