As a nurse who has seen way to much suffering due to family members not being able to "let go" and also as a hospice nurse who has seen people "pass" as comfortable and with as much love as possible, I see a real need for people to be aware of their options.

However, IMHO, the government has absolutely no business sticking its nose in the most private and personal decisions one will ever make. That is heading down a very frightening path.
