Update: I wrote this in February of this year. Now, in August, New Jersey’s ‘right to die’ law is underway. I understand this is a sensitive issue. (Is there a more personal one?) In the months since I wrote this I have not changed my point of view, not even with the passing of my beloved father-in-law. He was diagnosed in March with stage IV lung cancer and he was gone on Memorial Day. He lost far too much weight, was delirious at times, dealt with pain. Yet I never saw a more dignified man in my life. He died with more dignity than most will ever know, and he cherished the times he was able to see his grandchildren during his decline. I respect the views of those in favor of this new law, and I respectfully disagree.
