I watched How to die in Oregon too. Cody Curtis really loved life and had everything to live for ie devoted husband, children who loved her, she had fianacial stability to enjoy old age but the pain of the cancer robbed her from enjoying life.
She was so sweet throughout the documentary.
@tpboy The same people who fight to make euthanasia and assisted suicide illegal don't even fight for better pain relief treatments see medical cannabis for example.
In the UK medical cannabis is legal but is severely restricted in who can get the drug. Medical cannabis is allowed mainly for severe eplisey sufferers or other severe physcial pain conditions normally in cases where other medical treatments have not been doing much. Getting a prescription is extremely challenging people as a result have to resort many British people are growing their own cannabis illegally or buys drugs off the street.
The government is under pressure to change the laws from campaign groups. Public opinion is not as strong on the issue as well as most people don't know much about it affter the media stopped covering the case of Billy Caldwell. He is a child with severe eplisey and his mother was using cannabis oil to treat his epilepsy. She brought it aboard something like that. The British immigration and customs confiscated the cannabis oil and refused to give it back. The case outraged the nation and it led to the Home Secretary intervening in the matter and allowing use of medical cannabis is some situations.
