Euthanasia

[Guest guest]

I believe in being informed and letting your family know. I am to donate my

body to science and be cremated. My whole family knows that and even put it in

my will even though it is an after the fact

instrument.

I too like Bennie am doing the same thing. I signed a contract with the

hospital that is attached to the medical center where medical training is taking

place and then after 1 year they will deliver my ashes to my children per their

request. I also have a living will, as did my parents and they too had made all

their own funeral arrangements years prior to their passing on. I cannot tell

you what a tremendous help that was to me as I am an only child and my kids were

still young, below preteen, when my last parent passed. At the time I was still

married to the psychopath and was under tremendous stress due to the legal

hassles he had, plus severe financial problems which have not gotten any better

but I do not have the constant " legal " stuff, as we are not married. Sadly at

this time we are sharing space, he lives downstairs and we live upstairs, so

there is some residual stuff, but not as bad as it was. Anyway, I do not think

I would have been able to handle the additional stress if I had to plan the

entire funeral.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us

while we live.
