2. It is difficult to get the necessary two doctors to approve

this in CA due to possible lawsuits. That is why many people follow The Exit Path, To Die Well, and The Peaceful Pill Handbook. I am going to do this when my quality of life isn't worth the suffering and my family and friends are behind me 100%. So many people want to live forever until they begin to experience the changes that happen when your body is shutting down. It is humane to do this for animals but when it comes to people many would rather see people suffer (I have found this is usually true with Catholics for some reason). I am lucky for the support of my family and friends and your friend is lucky to have your support.
