Re: “Assisted dying bill sent back to Senate,” June 17.
There has been much debate about assisted dying recently. It seems difficult for those in Ottawa to agree on a fair policy. The debaters are still in their active years and most are far from their dying.
We, the old, should be in the conversation. We have watched our mates and our friends die; sometimes it is a hard passage that breaks the heart.
My husband suffered for months before he could welcome his end. He begged to die many times.
We now have the means to ease the final, inevitable passage. Surely it should not be so hard for Ottawa to come to a wise decision?
