What comes to mind when I think of the confluence of greed and euthanasia has come to me in a profound nightmare: my bile-blooded relative is standing next to me on a rooftop with a 100-year old me on a 100 story apartment tower in a dystopian Orlando. She says she's sympathetic with my plight; I'm old and riddled with arthritis. I've had aches for too long. May she hold my Cartier Ballon Bleu while I teeter at the edge of the parapet? Not to worry: she'll see to it personally that the watch will make it down to the safe deposit box at the ground floor bank later. Then my attorney will tally it amongst my other estate items. "No? Well, at least take it off your wrist, Uncle Scott, and toss it down to your attorney down on the street yourself; we've ordered a rescue net. In fact the entire fire department and police department and public works department and mayor's office all have pitched in for the rental of the net. All your stuff's in there, consolidated and ready for probate inventory."

I am still very much engaged in life. I do have a buddhist meditation practice which has sustained me over the years for various reasons. I agree that consciousness raising definitely needs to be done regarding the fact that none of us will get out of here alive. The Death Cafe is an international organization that is user-friendly and provides an opportunity to discuss this mundane yet ultimate reality.
