I know assisted suicide is illegal in most every country. I am curious to hear opinions from others so I will ask you all a question. Please give me your honesty. I only want your opinion on this subject DO not say if you would do this.

If someone you loved the most in this world had only 10 days left to live (cancer) & fully aware in their mind ask for your help would you do it? Knowing it may cost you life in prison?

Will I be hated on this forum telling that I helped my mother in her time of need? She made me promise her that I would help her on the day she was told she had cancer to help her near the end, she lived 18 months & of course she did not realize that I could get arrested & was constantly asking me over the last few months "please give me the BIG pill" her way of reminding me of my promise. I called her home care nurse & she said to me "you know I have to call the police now" I said "I know" as that is why I called her, not wanting to hide it. The police came & found me holding my mom's hand & rubbing her head with my other hand, she was now 68 lbs. About 8 police came into the house & seeing this had tears in their eyes, looking at the love & caring. Of course I was arrested & charged with attempted murder (as she did not die right away). The judge called it "An act of Love" as he said he had to give me 2 years probation as it was illegal & wanted to be sure I got help to deal with the future I may live through. That judge was so kind & very understanding. To this day I have no regrets & would do it again BUT only for my mother. A doctor once told me to never question myself & only to be proud that I was willing to give up my life for the person who gave me life. That night was the worse night of my life to have to do that but in other ways maybe the best I could be as a person & a man. Bob
