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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
