    I have seen the other side. Friends dad got a terminal cancer diagnosis–too far along to be able to treat. He had done very well in life, so funds were not an issue. He chose MAID because he said “why would I want one more month of this pain and suffering to continue.” We put animals down that are beyond help and suffering out of compassion…why would we not extend that courtesy to those who no longer want to go through it.
