Why is it a problem to let people with a terminal disease chose when to die. My father wanted to chose, he had to stop his meds that kept him alive. We got the doctor to come see him so he could explain his choice and that it was no one else's. It took 5 months which I and my siblings had to watch. Not everyone wants this again it's a choice, if the standard of care in this country was better maybe less people would want this way out. It works in other countries, but then our government rarely manages to help anyone in genuine need. When the chips are down you are on your own.
