We all need to know when its our time to go, when it is a futile exercise to give so much money to a hospital when we know what the inevitable outcome is going to be no matter how many drugs they give the patient.

What an admirable woman, she most probably led her life the way she wanted and decided when and how to go.

Aid-in-dying should be available in all states, I have to think that it is the medical industry who opposes it because it would diminish their earnings.
