I believe that there are places in this world for people like Jack Kevorkian. I believe that if a person has made the decision to end their life that the next step should be accessible. If that means that the services of someone like Jack Kevorkian are needed then he or someone like him should be there.
I am not here to persuade you to believe in what I do. What I am doing is trying to be as 'up front' as I can, to let you know exactly where I stand on these issues so that there are no misunderstandings.
My intention is to open this whole subject of 'living will' for some serious discussion. Because this question is on the news every day. Because this question is brought up between spouses and partners. Because this question is asked every time you are admitted to a hospital. Because this question needs to be discussed with your entire family. Because this question needs a reality attached to it. Because this question is the biggest elephant in the room right now, and too many are choosing to ignore it.
I believe that knowing where I stand on these other issues will make it easier for us to have this conversation.
I encourage comments. I encourage opposition. I encourage thoughts and ideas.
