Requiring terminally ill to linger in pain is cruel. What’s the point of a ‘death with dignity’ law if medical practitioners aren’t required to participate? Doctors claim a ‘do no harm’ clause, but opting for lethal doses of medication isn’t different from opting out of a beneficial medication, which has always been a legal choice.

G-Man – hahaha If I did I’d never win. Not a chance. I’m not diplomatic at all!
Wow! you pack quite a punch into such a few words. Great 55!
Mary´s last blog post..Flash Fiction Friday – My Muse
Mary – Thank you. That was a tough one to keep down to 55 words.
This is a very topical subject here at the moment. You say it all in just 55 words!
Akelamalu´s last blog post..Friday 55 Flash Fiction #65 Too Late
Akelamalu – Thank you. It’s been the top talk topic in our area too. They *just* pass the law recently.

ciara´s last blog post..Twelve Years…My How Time Flies.
This did pack a lot of punch in a small space. Very powerful and gripping stuff. I love it when you get on your soap box. Makes me feel less lonely on mine, lol.
Susan Anderson – hahaha that’s nothing. I really get on the Soapbox when I do open forum blogging vs. limiting to 55, but I find I stay more focused on the 55′s.
Vacation Again?
G-Man – no, not vacation just busy.
Yeah, what G-Man said. Erica, come back! My life sucks w/o you

Susan Anderson – there there. *pats susan on the head* I’m back. I’ll try not to make my breaks last so long just for you.
