TOPIC 74 CONTRAST LIFE OR DEATH? I love Colorado and all the sun. I hope to die here. Have made my funeral arrangements here. I could lose sleep worrying that the kids jobs might someday demand a move. Try not to worry about what I cannot control. However, if I must move, I hope it will be to Oregon. Not that I want all that rain, but I want the right to die when and how I want to. Below is a tribute to Peter Goodwin who
A quote: .Peter called his accomplishments as chair of the committee to pass the Oregon Death with Dignity Act in the mid 1990s “the most gratifying of my entire life.” He was instrumental in persuading the Oregon Medical Association to remain neutral on the measure. After the law passed, Dr. Goodwin helped launch Compassion & Choices of Oregon and was its first Medical Director.
Thank you, Peter.

Death with dignity, how can anybody see this as anything less than the most humane end–for people who honor life above all else and even for people who don’t? Great post!
People still believe G-d wants others killed in H/She/its name. We the people are sometimes a bit like sheep following the herd even when it leads over a cliff. Thank you for commenting. So glad our paths crossed.
Congratulations! I have nominated you for the Beautiful Blogger Award
