I am a former Funeral Director and have lived in many states, I do not think this issue relates to any perticular area of the country. I support Assisted Suicide after having been at the bedside of several friends and family during their last moments on earth. What I know from the many years of haveing been a Funeral Director and having been with those dying from termnal diseases is that the Peace which comes for the patient and the family is overwhelming. Anyone and everyone should have the opportunity to die wity dignity. Of all the families members I have spoken with almost everyone says they would like the choice to live or die and none of them wants to be a burden on the family or live in excrutiating pain. A promise made to a family member to help them die is a honor and I would help anyone to have a choice.
