>where it's being proposed as an option to patients
This is an inevitability, not a possibility. Families and doctors will bring it up.

Because of exactly this. Dying people may view themselves as a burden and essentially commit suicide to not feel like that. This is part of why Mass courts have ruled against medically assisted suicide.

I should also add we tried USAA and their rates were high at the time.

Initially used Amerisave then after a few offers gone south due to poor customer service, we switched to Fairway and got an offer accepted immediately (our 16th offer…this was in the crazy market time of last year and we had a VA loan). We found Fairway to be fantastic and I can PM you the name of the person we used if you’d like.

I think maybe OP called Maine “New Ireland” because in the War of 1812 the Brits tried to set up a new colony in Maine called New Ireland.
However the name would only really make sense if we got stuck with the Brits again by losing the War of 1812 and not the Revolution like with this post.

What does he think about double negatives?
Edit: you guys have no sense of humor.

I've had multiple family members pass away, one as recently as last year and they have all expressed wishing they had this option.
It's important, and everyone deserves dignity and respect especially at the end of their life.

That’s my fear too. It’s such an easy jump to make for governments.

Vermont was the republic of Vermont until a decade after the revolution, it may never have joined New England if New England stayed English.

Actually Vermont was it’s own country at the time, didn’t join the US until later, and in this scenario, it may never have.

You can just buy a provisional license from another company? Do you have to do business under their name? No application needs to be submitted?
Edit; I wonder if they'll have specific nights where male budtenders serve you naked as well.

Seriously. It’s concerning how much Catholics want to force other people to endure horrible suffering, even after the writing is already on the wall.
I’m certain any going out on my own terms when the time comes, and anybody opposed to that can cry me a river.

I would love to see boobs when I buy weed. I love weed and I love boobs. I see boobs all the time, why wouldn't I want to increase the frequency at which my eyes get treated by boobs? Boobs would enhance the overall buying experience. It's literally a value-add proposition lmao.
The issue with this idea would be the harassment the ladies would undoubtedly be subjected to. I can imagine some creepy situations arising from this idea.

Weird thing but if you live near woods, take a walk. I once found a stolen 4 wheeler someone ditched after stealing because it ran out of gas. Had to go back and meet the cop to help him find it

Hopefully the megacult that worships pain and suffering has shrunk enough to be unable to sway opinions on this again.

Yup. I’ve been there with my Dad, he entered hospice when his cancer got to the point where the surgeon walked out of the OR crying (same surgeon working on him for ten years) saying “I am so sorry, there is nothing more I can do”. Well, because other than cancer my Dad is as absolutely healthy, even after 10 years of treatments, it took him over three weeks to die, essentially starving to death because that was the only option and it was awful. I would never wish another family to go through it. If you are literally just waiting to die, why drag it out and make it very miserable physically and emotionally for the dying and their families?

I'm all for it, as long as it doesn't turn into what we hear from Canada where it's being proposed as an option to patients (especially those who don't really need it). I feel like it's unfair to present it to someone, they should come to the conclusion all on their own that that's what they'd like to do.
