I hope He does; I wonder how she’ll explain her eagerness to push for ‘right to die’ in other states.

I think you bring up an excellent point.

Eagerness.

For me eagerness, depending on the actual state of the person, would be a disqualifier.

Eagerness to die would be. Desire to be out of pain that can’t be totally controlled anymore, different story.

This woman was not at end of life stage. I wouldn’t have considered her to be someone that should have done it. She still could have had ups and down periods. She was still eating and drinking. She was still enjoying family and friends. There could have been more time taking care of her. Others could have had some opportunities to care for her, but they were taken away.

If the person only has a day or two, and the hospice people who care for dying folks, many know the common signs people go through dying , and know that generally when they start/stop doing “x” death’s 2-3 days away. this would be the time I’d say if that person had expressed they might want help, to see if they can still say yes or no. They are so drugged up on painkillers at the end, they hasten death if they are morphine based.
