But to try to come up with a hypothetical story, or even a personal story, where you feel you need a doctor trained in governmental directed "death acceptance" is just unbelievable, and, frankly, a little shocking.

I understand why "for the better good" bureaucrats would be promoting this, but for any free thinking American to agree is beyond me.
Ok....I will try. My end of life decisions have been made and are contained in the appropriate, notorized and required legal documents. My great niece and her husband have them along with my will and they are on file at my hospital of choice. I will not give you a made up horrible story as to why at 60 years old I have them but only that these come as a result of 40 years of working in hospitals. The things of I seen!!!! Truthfully I don't want them happening to me. Hence the paperwork......
