The reason to consider life and what's of value is to make sure you're not missing out. Seize the day. What's important to you? What do you care about? What matters? Pursue that. Forget the rest.

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

I'm choosing to suffer less. To put myself and my family through less pain.

I feel very fortunate to go surrounded by love. I'm proud of the life I lived.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

If you ever find yourself walking a mile in my shoes, I hope that you would be at least be given the same choice.
