NY Times article related to Inquiring Minds discussion on assisted suicide.

On Saturday, August 3, the Inquiring Minds discussion group took up the topic of issues surrounding assisted suicide.  While the majority of those present seemed to feel that the option should at least theoretically be available, opinions on the conditions under which it should be made actually available varied widely.

The New York Times ran an article today about a woman in the state of Washington who availed herself of that state's legal assisted suicide program.  It is a thoughtful article about a woman I would have liked to have known and how she asserted her right to make decisions to the very end, including writing her own obituary.  Here is the link:
