A Euthanasia Clinic would provide a place where a Compassionate Law could be implemented allowing people to choose the time, place, and manner of their own death while in the company and companionship of their friends, family, and loved ones.

What's wrong with that?

You've just been diagnosed with Cancer. Now comes the time to answer the question you have always feared, what comes next? 

You're Going to Die Anyway, So Why Not Choose Your Own Time, Place, and Manner of Death?

What Is Life? 

Life is a path whose destination is known. That destination is death.

Whether we arrive today or tomorrow it is certain that we will arrive.

Life is the way to death.

You are going to die anyway, so why not do it your way, in a place that you choose, when you're ready?

Think about it.

Why shouldn't you be allowed a peaceful and painless death?

According to my edition of the 'Funk and Wagnall's Standard College Dictionary', Euthanasia is defined as a 'painless, peaceful death'.   ERGO, the web site of Derek Humphry the founder of America's Hemlock Society, tells us that, 'The word 'euthanasia' comes from the Greek -- Eu, "good", and Thanatos, "death". Literally, a 'good death'.

Nothing in that requires the assistance or intervention of any other person in your death.  It is only in recent years that the meaning has changed.

When you decide that the time to end your life has come you can end it in a peaceful and painless manner in the company and companionship of your friends, family and loved ones. You do not need your doctor to be involved. If you are careful, your friends, family and loved ones may not be prosecuted for murder.

Most countries will have a law that says a person assisting with a suicide may be prosecuted. These laws provide a safeguard against murder, but make no allowance for those in need.

A Compassionate Law is needed.

The End of Life Experience

Death is the end of life.

All life leads to an end of life experience.

A reasonable and rational person wants that experience to be as peaceful and painless as possible.

Euthanasia is an 'end of life experience'.

So euthanasia, a peaceful and painless death, is a rational end of life choice. 

You are not crazy.

The Way to Death

You are going to die anyway, so make a difference before you go.

You can enrich the lives of others by the choices you make.

Choose a place.

Waiting for death to happen in a sterile hospital room does not sound like an appealing end of life experience.

Instead of enduring expensive, painful, debilitating and often useless treatment for an incurable medical ailment you can choose to live in a place that needs you.

You would meet some truly wonderful people.

You could sponsor an orphanage, build a school, help provide a home for a disabled villager, or teach English in a remote village school.

The place you choose for an end of life experience will benefit from your having lived there.

This is a rational choice. 

Death is not a painful event.

Illness can be.

Hospitals are designed to keep you alive.

If you are specifically and actively seeking an option for your own end of life experience, there are places where people are desperately in need and where you would be appreciated.

Whether for a few days, months, or years you can make a difference to many others before you go, and then choose your own time, place, and manner of a peaceful and painless death.

The Final Exit

The book, 'Final Exit', by Derek Humphry describes the preferred method for achieving a peaceful and painless death. I recommend it. You may order a copy by using the links below.

As more and more people get older, and as they are denied dignified alternative options, many will insist on using all available means to stay alive. Or perhaps they will make no decisions about their own end of life experience and allow attending physicians to make those decisions for them. As a result, more and more people will be sustained on life support mechanisms and decisions will have to be made, without their input or consent, regarding  'pulling the plug'. 

While for some this will result in the elimination of life sustaining oxygen, without replacing it with inert Helium or Nitrogen to dispel the build up of anxiety causing Carbon Dioxide, for others it will mean forced starvation over several weeks with attendant palliative care to ensure life is sustained for as long as possible.

These are not desirable end of life experiences. They actually sound like torture. Yet they are condoned while Euthanasia is condemned.

Society will argue endlessly over each case while loved ones are left to suffer and pay for the legal and medical bills.

A Compassionate Law and a Euthanasia Clinic could help make those end of life decisions easier by allowing people to choose the time, place, and manner of their own peaceful and painless death.

A Compassionate Law

Those about whom we care the most may be subject to legal prosecution if they choose to be with us when we need them most.

A dying person does not need the additional worry that their manner of death might cause felony charges to be brought against their loved ones.

A Compassionate Law would make it possible for a person to be in close physical contact with the dying at the time of death and not be subject to legal prosecution afterwards.
