You know what? Yes, I make selfish decisions about my life. So does everybody else. We do not exist to satisfy the needs of other people.

The choice behind death is that it's preferable to the alternative. Before we had medically assisted options, people would do it in more painful ways, but they'd still do it. Many cultures had the idea of "walking off into the wilderness" when your time was there.

When that time is is a personal choice. By all means, let's put some non-gatekeeping hurdles in the way (e.g. mandate a conversation or three with a therapist), but ultimately, we should all be in charge of our own life.

Most honest gloomful comment so far, and need I say selfish.
