Perhaps a tad unusual topic for the forum
And I pondered on using the heading Dr. Phillip Nischke - Angel of Death but then many may not know of Dr. Nitschke, a Doctor who in the past decade or so has brought the topic of humane death more to the community.
Euthanasia death woman takes own life
Caren Jenning, the woman who has taken her own life had to die a lonely death that no one should have to experience, but will because of archaic attitudes and laws.
Anybody who has ever had an ageing pet put down because of it beginning to suffer, or who has gone outside of a morning to find an otherwise healthy pet has died by itself overnight will know of the torment of what is best, but one sure thing is that whilst a peaceful death with no suffering would be preferred, the thoughts of how one may have suffered alone can be haunting.
Do you think laws should allow one to choose to die when ready rather than to be kept alive a bit longer to suffer, knowing that death is near.
If you are living in Australia and would like to see such suffering end, why not send an email to the PM -
Prime Minister of Australia - Contact your Prime Minister
Hell!, that's not a place to go is it, so why not take some time to send an email to every MP -
Parliament of Australia: Who's Who, contacts there.
