@ffr thank you for your kind words. Not many of us think the same way. Some good intentioned people find it easy to bring in religion to the mix but we all have to carve our own path to our eventual destination. Thank you for respecting my choice. just to be clear I am not rushing out to Oregon to rush through the process. I am going to squeeze the toothpaste tube of life to the absolute end. When I can no longer bear the suffering. That is when I will invoke my right to lay down my life .
Respectfully, David

@kono8888 My sister was considering the same option, but in the end, she chose to be heavily medicated, which as I understand is often the path taken. I would've supported her decision either way. This conversation is a difficult one for me. My biggest fear is being left incapable of doing what I love to do. That said, I have a granddaughter who suffers from severe CP and has never had the freedom to pursue any of her dreams. How can I justify to her how life isn't worth living under those conditions. If there is anything that I've learned from this forum, it's that life isn't about fairness. If anything, it's about how we face what is before us. Does that really matter in the long run? Maybe we'll get an answer in the next life.
