I had to bump it!
A year and a half ago, my father was diagnosed with a horrible form of brain cancer. Within four weeks he had lost all use of his left side and needed 24-hour care. Prior to his diagnosis, he was a healthy, active 72-year-old. If he was not an Oregon resident and had the opportunity to make a choice about how he was to die, he would have continued to deteriorate well beyond what would have been appropriate for a proud man. As it was, he was able to have his daughter, brother and four dogs around him, peacefully dying in his home through physician-assisted suicide.
