Posted: 11/5/08 at 10:41pmWhoa, that's intense... I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand, dragging it out is painful, on the other, that's not a choice I would like to make...

I'm for it, too.
If someone wants to end their own pain and suffering, they should have the right to do so.

Posted: 11/6/08 at 8:40amReading that brief article, it seems that the law was written to be very specific and narrow, and to protect all those involved. I would have voted 'yes' on that.

Posted: 11/6/08 at 6:15pmI hope other states follow our lead. I imagine though, at our next election, there will be a measure to stop this one. I like to think we're pretty liberal here in Seattle, but I'm proven wrong daily.
