What a blessing to give a mentally competent, terminally ill person the right to take pills that will end life in a painless but certain way.
Thank you to the California legislators who made this happen and to Governor Jerry Brown for not becoming a last-minute hold-out.

This legislation will reduce the number of persons who, in desperation, blow their brains out.
In older cultures, most deaths were not prolonged and drawn out in the way they are for many people today as a result of our greater medical resources.
The personal stories associated with California's newly passed and signed legislation are very moving.
St. Francis on his deathbed coined the phrase "Sister Death" to welcome the transition once it had become inevitable.

May we all come to that kind of acceptance, and may we die peacefully.
