So here is a little rant…
This law doesn’t help those who really need it. The patient needs to be able to write and speak their wish – ok – a speech machine can help with that. The drugs also need to be self -administered – WHAT??? This is a law that does not completely help everyone that needs it. ALS patients don’t qualify at the stage when one would consider this an option. ALS is one of the worst, most horrific diseases on this planet. Your muscles no longer work to control your body, everything must be done for you, but your mind stay 100% the same. ALS patients are actual prisoners in their own body… and they are stuck. It is one of the most heartbreaking things to watch. There must be considerations made to help those fighting this cruel disease.
