In Oregon there are assisted suicide laws. All of the healthcare providers are exempted from participation if they choose, except for the pharmacist (WTF!?). If I worked there, I would fill one if the legal requirements had been met. I may as well take the burden off of someone who would go into some moral issue spaz attack about it. That would be a bitch of a counsel, though. ****, if someone has a terminal illness and wants to skip the drawn out agony portion, let them. Maybe I'm just biased because I watched my dad deteriorate in a very drawn out way. There are just some times when the rest of one's life is doomed to be the antithesis of quality. If someone wants to be empowered to end their life at or just before that stage, I'd rather they do it together with the medical staff than on their own in the garage with a 12 gauge shotgun. And, I'd rather they go how they want to instead of in sesspool of misery. Hm. I guess I am in favor of assisted suicide. Still, I don't have a problem with other medical personnel opting out.
