Excellent article, Bruce.
Thanks for posting it.

Oregon went through the "Death with Dignity" discussion several years ago, and it made a real difference for my parents. We had a physician that specialized in Elder Care and a Home Visit Nurse that discussed the same issues of the article, first with my folks and then with me and my wife and our children. It made their care easier and more acceptable for everyone. My wife and I now have set up Durable Power of Attorney, and our kids know of our plans and wishes.

It's a long article, but yes, everyone should read it.
