Assisted Suicide/Euthanasia - what are your opinions?

Roland, it's so easy for those of us who are not in that position, yet, to make such comments. I can't imagine what it must be like for you. I hope that we don't seem insensitive to your predicament.

Roland,

I certianly understand and am glad you have a wife who loves you,

and(for what it is worth)you have a "family"here in Poe to be with as well..

I came across an interesting piece of writing which touches on the subject of death. I reproduce it below and would be interested in any comments.

             Death-What a wonderful way to explain it!!

 A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said

"Dr, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said "I don't know"'

"You dont know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said,

"Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing.... I know my master is there and that is enough."

Thank you Ray.........

Thank you so much..

That was a beautiful piece to post, Ray.  Thank you.

Roland, thank you for sharing your story.  You are in my prayers.
