There's a Boston Globe poll about whether the Massachusetts Legislature should pass the โ€œEnd of Life Options Actโ€ providing for Medical Aid in Dying aka Death with Dignity. This is *only* for people in the last months of their lives - as certified by multiple health professionals - to take control of their own passing.

As a parent who watched her adult daughter slowly die of cancer in home hospice, I ask you to please vote YES.

Let's all support ALL of our rights to make our own decisions about our own bodies! Abortion rights, gender-affirming care, AND the right to make our own choice for when the time comes.

We are kinder to our pets than we are to humans too much of the time, and why? Profits and religion. Zealots force people to endure unnecessary suffering so that somebody can make a profit on them for as long as possible or because of their zealous pursuit to inflict their religion on everyone else. Death with dignity should be the law the of the land.

Feds to investigate nursing home abuse of antipsychotics apnews.com/article/ad76a524c9e

this is a letter i wrote in the comments section of the NYTimes about the subject - please consider the current pushback against medication is inhumane

I am thankful that I can choose whether super human efforts will be made to keep me alive but the reality of when the time comes sucks for *everyone* involved. The patient is left, drugged up, to suffer as "nature is left to take its course" and loved ones have to watch, powerless. Adults should be able to choose their destiny, how and when they should go, .

โ€œCalifornia provides a useful point of comparison: It legalized medically assisted death the same year as Canada, 2016, and it has about the same population, just under forty million. In 2021 in California, 486 people died using the stateโ€™s assisted suicide program. In Canada in the same year, 10,064 people used MAID [โ€˜Medical Assistance in Dying] to die.โ€

@jilllightner do any of the secular systems offer that either though? (Not that that makes Catholic control betterโ€ฆ but it was my impression you basically have to find a private practitioner to get a prescription

My Personal wish-list:
1) Be able to view posts from a wide variety of people with a wide variety of (potentially fringe) opinions.
2) Be able to post my opinions and graphics (which aren't very far from the mainstream with only a few exceptions like and ) without censorship.
3) Ensure that those who are easily triggered by things like War and Politics are protected from my posts without my having to take any actions on a per-post basis.
