Great article.

I don’t know Dr. Aijian but I believe that he is probably a Christian and any devout Christian knows that they are a Christian before they are ANYTHING else.

My primary care doctor is a believer and it makes such a difference!

This world is very lost and ignorance is no excuse.

The devil is the greatest liar of all time.

God bless you Dr.

This is where I go off the reservation with conservative dictum. Having taken care of thousands of critically ill patients over the course of 40+ years, I stand resolute with the right to die with dignity. Patients should have a right to choose their end based on well defined, medically supervised and legally sanctioned laws, with strictly applied guidelines, checks and balances to prevent fraud and abuse.

Sad how our society is more

humane with our pets end of life, than we are for our loved ones during their final days. Conservatives constantly remind us of our God given rights of freedom, until it comes to the right to end our lives! The ultimate freedom is that of our own destiny!

Yes, the final weeks or months of life can be not only painful, but extremely expensive as well. The majority of cost for Medicare is typically during the last 30 days of life, leaving many families paying for the 20% of a multi million dollar bill left by caring for their loved ones. Often, families are left with difficult choices, sometimes left with having to liquidate their parent’s home in order to pay for care.

I reject fully, the use of Nazi analogies in terms of right to die legitimacy.

Give terminally ill patients the freedom of choice now!
