Most people have had close encounters with death, anyone one whose read my blog will have read of the slow death of my Aunt aged fifty seven over the last few months. She chose to fight right until the day she died, when we were told her illness was terminal.

I believe quality of life also should be addressed as well as terminal illness. If my quality of life becomes so unbearable, and dependent on others to perform even the most mundane of tasks, I'm out of here, and if I don't have the ability I demand the right to seek assistance without the threat of prosecution hanging over that person.
