Cherished time with the dying puts the lie to euthanasia

I spent the three weeks leading up to my mother's death by her side. Each night, I slept on the floor beside her bed and in the daytime was at her side. We were blessed to have the medical and care support that enabled Mummy to die at home in her own bedroom. Each day brought its own laughter, tension and tears. Our mother showed us what true human dignity is -- it cannot be given or taken away. It just is and love and care are what it demands. She showed us how graciously she accepted the indignities of terminal illness and her dying. Guelph Mercury
