Thank you Sandra Martin for an informative and gracious article.

It's obvious from reading commentary that there is more emotion than knowledge out there.
The state does not hesitate to send soldiers off to wars and near impossible peacekeeping 
missions to horribly violent places where young men and women will very likely pay with
their lives.  No one questions this barbaric take on life in 2017.

But when we talk of those with horrific mental illnesses that destroys not just the patients
life but the lives of families and friends around them, and the need to help these poor
sufferers to end their lives gracefully everyone's back seems to shoot up.  It's remarkable that
there are still those who think that treatment with Vitamin B12 in many of these cases will
do the trick.  Psychiatry in Canada is not basic today.  We have very good care but it's not 
enough.  Not all illnesses, physical or mental (which often has it's root cause in the physical)
can be treated in spite of best care
