What happened to Individual Rights?

This is an Individual Decision....no one elses.

Someone mentioned being paralyzed.
That would drive me nuts. To be totally paralyzed.
I would wish to END it right then and there.

As for Dementia...that is a tough one and I would handle it for myself as it would happen.
Our Soul is FINE. It is our body and it's Processor that is not.
Still, with all of that then in my own 'shoes' I would not want my family to keep me around and drain resources.
I would rather 'Move On' in spirit and do what I can for them in that capacity.

It boils down to the Individual and not the Group.
It is the Individual's Decision overall and should be accepted and acknowledged.

We have too much 'Group' making decisions for the Individual anymore.
That to me is not Freedom of Choice!
