    Touchy issue…But Blackhorse thinks this is another situation that calls for a little common-sense…The bottom line is this, if someone; anybody wants to commit suicide , especially because of a terminal illness, they are going to kill themselves….I don’t see the sense in wasting tax dollars , not to mention man/woman power to go after folks that are obviously just helping an individual in need , do what they have to do…It just doesn’t make much sense…....But then again , ain’t that amerika ? ? ?

No one but the patient should have anything to say about it, if in fact, we are free. But in America, we are not.
