terminally ill people end their own lives.

IT'S EASIER TO DIE THEN THEN GETTING ACESS TO LIFE SAVING DRUGS THAT ARE TIED UP FOR YEARS IN TRIALS.

Even under current laws it's very difficult to get someone to talk to.
Many terminal patients can't even get information from several drugs in the research labs,
all they do is send you to their site of current trials which are very, very hard to qualify for.
Drugs in the lab are for the most part off limits. Many die waiting !

Is this their answer to the problem ?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — In a landmark victory for supporters of assisted suicide, the California State Legislature on Friday gave final approval to a bill that would allow doctors to help terminally ill people end their own lives.

Four states — Oregon, Washington, Montana and Vermont — already allow physicians to prescribe life-ending medication to some patients. The California bill, which passed Friday in the State Senate by a vote of 23-14, will now go to Gov. Jerry Brown, who will roughly triple access to doctor-assisted suicide across the country if he signs it. Mr. Brown, a former Jesuit seminarian, has given little indication of his intentions.

I wish Florida would pass a right to die law.

It's funny I was talking to my 90 yr old neighbour about this. She was a nurse back in her day. She told me you don't need a law. All you have to do is stop eating and drinking and you will be dead pretty darn quick. I guess that sums it up.

Unfortunately we have a few cases in British Columbia where the provincial medical people have stepped in a force intravenous feeding in cases like this. And this has occured even when a living will was legal and was in place.

I have two plan Bs for when I've had enough and I'm ready to go.

I have a few plan B's also

Hopefully mine ends with Hospice. We have a great Hospice here.

My message is not abut dyeing but having access to drugs or treatments already in research or trials . Without treatment most already terminal will die waiting many years to get into the doctors clinics for life saving treatments.
I know of at least 6 drugs for cancer already making there way throughthe FDA process (Years) while terminal patients wait to die knowing
they don't have enough time to wait.
Ive been trying for a year to have access to any one of these drugs without success.

So when I write about dying it's really about living!
