Hoping this passes soon in Iceland, my sister is in very bad shape struggling to live and it would be her wish to pass peacefully, instead she has to wait for the agonizing death as her ability to swallow goes and she chokes to death.

My father who passed last year also wished for the same as his alzheimers worsened, he did not want to live past a point where he lived for a few years more becoming less and less of who he was, its time societies give those we love the right to pass peacefully under their own terms.

I know its a difficult issue, and we have to be careful, but there is no question this will become a law in all modern societies, and I am very proud of Canada for doing this.
