I just spent over a year with someone who died of cancer on Tuesday. I don&#x27;t know if she would have opted for suicide if it had been legal here, but I do know that the last few weeks were extremely difficult for everyone involved. I have a very clear image of how cancer kills a person now. We did our best to maintain her dignity, but the body is not on your side. It&#x27;s humbling, to say the least, which is a profound lesson in and of itself.
