I appreciate the way in which you approach complex subjects. Careful, curious, open to change your stance when the unknowns are revealed. What else could we possibly expect from each other in a sane society? I don't know how long I can be a paid supporter but, in view of your recent financial persecution (Holly Math Nerd shared your story), I wanted to encourage you to keep going in the now. May this thing that was meant for your harm be turned into an even greater good.
I so appreciate your dedication to speaking clearly and exactly on what is a very sensitive subject. You make an effort to tell it like it is, good or bad, on every subject you cover, often exposing your own personal experience with the subject and never parsing words.
Canada has gone so far over the cliff that they have the means in place for a child to choose death i.e assisted suicide, without the parent's knowledge, if they so desire. Young children, not a nearly 18 year old. The terms they couch it in is to euphemistically describe the child as a "mature child" who can make this decision solely on their own authority. Talk about a contradiction in terms! The death cult knows no bounds. Thank you for talking about this. It's a troubling and difficult subject and I grapple with it in regard to myself. No one wants a long, lingering painful end to their life, but whether to make the choice to end one's own life or not is a serious matter, and deserves much consideration before choosing.
