text: Thank you for sharing your views Mr. Wong; and my condolences on the difficult passing of your wife.  I agree with you.  I do have a word of caution in case our legislators finally pass a law allowing physician-assisted suicide.  
  
  Hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living places, and hospices affiliated with religious groups like Catholics, Adventist healthcare, etc. are likely to hire or grant "privileges" to only doctors and nurses who refuse to provide aid in suicide.  I have been to community meetings they sponsor concerning palliative care, and when I have asked "Do you support passing a law allowing physician-assisted suicide?" and also "If such a law is passed, would you personally comply with a patient's request?"  Usually the answer is deliberately vague and filled with evasive platitudes, but when pinned down the honest answer is "No."  They will "help" you only to keep fighting; they will not give you the help you really want when it's time to surrender.
