    I was just reading about assisted suicide or the right to die in California. I didn't even know it was legal here.

    Of course Catholics are against it and you won't get a catholic hospital to do it. My dr is affiliated with St. Agnes.

    Which means if I'm ever terminal and in extreme pain I would have to find a dr from Kaiser Permanente.

    The article I just read stated that in the last 6 months 111 terminal patients have gone through with the assisted suicide in CA. I think it's only legal in 5 states ...Oregon, Colorado, California and I forget the other ones.

    I know the topic is abortion but as a senior, I'm more interested in the right to die.

    I was going to start a topic on this but changed my mind so thought I'd squeeze it in here...sorry.

    I think any with a rational mind and an inhibiting life factor should have a right to die and I would extend that to 'lifer' prisoners.

    Yep and although the are those that argue all the ramifications etc. I think you will know when the time is right to use that option and for me it's when all hope is gone and the pain can't be controlled with meds.

    Plastic bag as alternative avoids soiling a pillow with teeth marks.

    If it wasn't legal here I'd just hoard a bunch of meds that cause people to overdose...

    Triple paper might work then. Or duct tape. That works on most anything.
