At my age, Death is not feared nor is it denied.  As a Christian, the decision to end it before Death claims it, is where I am in doubt.  But I do believe the decision should be mine, and only mine.  I don't like the term, "assisted death."  My doctor's work is done.  His only responsibility is to ease my pain and suffering, which does not include the decision to die.  Doctor's work is done and I am no longer his responsibility , but he is my witness that I once lived.
