There Better Be An Open Bar, 'Cause We're Gonna Need It
-
This woman, a performance artist with ALS, threw a suicide party for her friends and family. She had everyone come to Ojai, party, laugh, and say goodbye, and then she went off and had a doctor administer a drug cocktail to kill her, and she died. This raises topics of a) assisted suicide and b) how you want to go, if you can control the circumstances. A party and a goodbye isn't a bad option, really, though having just been through my cat's euthanasia, even when you know the departing soul needs to end his or her suffering, it's still overwhelmingly sad, and I'm not sure a party would be all that fun under the circumstances, but it beats doing nothing but crying.
