February 20, 2012It haunts me to this day: the call of my Dad's desperate voice, " I'm still here?"
We had no idea why, with blood cancer, after weeks of refusing blood or plasma products, not a blood cell to his name, and life still hung on to his frail body. And, now he was resenting the wait. It had been almost 2 months since this last palliative admission to hospital.

February 20, 2012The American Medical Association acknowledges that the recent decision in Georgia (see earlier article here) is a game changer.
Like Dying With Dignity Canada, Final Exit Network provides information and emotional support to those at end of life who are facing the prospect of unbearable suffering, this support includes being present at the bedside for those who choose to hasten their dying.
The ruling means that assisted suicide now is legal in Georgia without regulations to police the activity, said Penny Penn, district attorney for Forsyth County, Ga., where Final Exit members were prosecuted. She is concerned that Final Exit now has more freedom to provide its services and that more patients who cannot adequately consent to suicide are at risk.
February 7, 2012In 2011, the Attorney General for the State of Georgia announced that assisted suicide was legal in that state.
There remained, however, a restriction that no one could legally advertise such assistance.
