on Washington Approves Of Suicide at 19:02 11/06/2008I live here in washington and I voted yes on this.My grandpa had cancer on and off for 10 years and when he got it again last summer,he had 3 different types of it.Growin up he was always a strong and proud man who never complained of anything....ever.When I saw him last summer it broke my heart.In a matter of 5 days he had lost 15 pounds and could barely speak and thats how it went with each passing day.He expressed to my mom that he would have wanted to die with dignity and not suffering and humiliation,and this law is exactly what he would have wanted and used.If someone is in deep pain and there is no hope whatsoever of them living than they should have the choice of ending their own lives.People who oppose this are ignorant and not understanding of the suffering these people go through just to live another week.This amendment was something I was proud to vote yes for.
