My life is my own. The state was not there at my birth, and they are uninvited and may not officiate at the time of my death. Now I would like to put the question to you: After you have been diagnosed with a debilitating, degenerating or terminal illness and had to run the gauntlet of treatments to no avail, would you:

• Place your ultimate fate in the hands of a posturing, preening, verbose cabal of lawyers, judges, politicians and theologians, all of whom are willing to prolong your suffering and treat it as nothing more than an opportunity to debate over their own moral shortcomings, all the while denying you the release you so desperately seek, or
• Seek the service of a person skilled in these matters, who would allow you the time and place of your choosing, and who would supply you the method or apparatus that would allow you to leave this life painlessly with your dignity intact?
