This is why I fully support Death With Dignity

[AngryDem001]

This is why I say that no one should be told that they cannot put an end to their own suffering, to their own PAIN.

I could write a paragraph, but I will let the image speak for itself.

This is what bone cancer looks like. WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT.

2. about 1/3 of bone cancer patients are 0-24, do you support death with dignity for them too?

For all cases of bone cancer combined (in both adults and children), the 5-year relative survival is about 70%.

For adults, the most common bone cancer is chondrosarcoma, which has a 5-year relative survival of about 80%. (Survival statistics for Ewing tumors and osteosarcoma can be found in our documents about those cancers.)

Why is it that only adults are considered to have "lost dignity" in the dying process -- but not children?

Regardless of age.
