I wonder how my Irish ancestors would have walked out in the desert. One last call for spuds and then off to Arabia. They would have to be in top shape for this long journey and set out while they were still relatively young and healthy.

Does this get us any closer to agreement? It is still not suicide, it is being allowed to die with dignity.

I think we are in agreement on the death with dignity part for those who are dying. Where I see a difference is that I support death with dignity for those who are not dying. Envision if you will someone who has been paralyzed for years, who can do nothing for himself but blink, who is for one reason or another unable to get out and about even with assistance, who has no family anymore, who has already seen every movie ever made multiple times, and who doesn't want to go on any longer but faces another thirty or forty years before he dies. That's the fellow I'd like to permit to die with dignity sooner rather than later. What do you have to say about him?
