End of Life Options

I watched something on the television in a program about Euthanasia And since my father died from cancer what palliative care would be a saviour I can understand I think how sick people would want a choice in their death And some dignity with it from degenerative diseases that are horrible in their breath Countries are legislating this choice for their people in their death decision's depth The Netherlands made it legal with the help of a doctor to have an assisted death Then the program showed Antoinette a Dutch older citizen Whose ailment was a psychological illness in her lament in her end With her doctor she presented an argument about ending it all Because her depression was so bad she wanted it to count as her fall On the day of her death she had her friends, son and daughter there For a death ceremony in her bedroom after saying goodbye for all to care If these end of life options were to be legislated for each one of us With a lowering of the bar would other reasons for suicide be without a fuss When these reasons are factored in would we shrug and say it's want they want And assisted deaths become the norm in examining their reasons in their font Old age, infirmity, disability or person's finite choice would be the reason With a doctor's note agreeing to the reasons pinned to the latest victim in the end But I find these psychological reasons to be without a lot of sense for assisted suicide Smacking of the Nazis and getting rid of people that society would not abide Finally would it be that the person to die may not have a choice for themselves? © Paul Warren Poetry
