A different scenario from the norm, but as usual, a well crafted story. Five stars.
The story brings into focus the absurdity of criminal charges against someone who simply wants to help their loved one avoid dying in agony. In Canada, after decades of debate and the courageous work of activists, the government enacted the MAID law (Medical Assistance in Dying). This makes it legal for a person facing a painful death to request the assistance of a physician to help them die at a time of their own choosing.
Personal beliefs, however ever strongly held, are better argued in a political forum.
Car design, driver training, religious faith and assisted euthanasia do not sit well in an erotica site, or story.
To The Pedant, I don't know about you, your bio tells me nothing, but I've been around long enough to know that if you leave anything to politicians, nothing will get done unless it is politically expedient for them to do it. It only becomes expedient when public opinion makes it imperative. I will use any forum available to me to voice my opinion and raise awareness to issues.
100% agree Cromagnonman, Politicians will do very little based on the pure merits of an action, they base decisions on how they will be viewed by the electorate and how it affects future electability. The major flaw with democracy is that it’s always a Politician that gets the power...
There are subjects that need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the light of discussion, euthanasia and religious dogma are two excellent examples, keep it up please!
I liked all the “issues” being brought up, agreeing with most of the authors points. All in all a damn fine story .
