"In places like Holland, Switzerland or Oregon in the US, laws already allow assisted suicides, and campaigners say there is a groundswell of public opinion in many other countries - particularly in Europe - which will force their governments to follow suit."
"But the debate is still a controversial one and the recent death of Dublin woman Rosemary Toole Gilhooley, shows the stark cultural gap that exists between places that tolerate the practice, and those to which it is a repellent concept."
"Mr Exoo is said to have attended about 100 suicides in the US, but they all went unnoticed until this one in conservative Ireland, where assisting a suicide is a crime almost as severe as murder - drawing up to 14 years in prison."
So there are countries holding the culture of death at bay, at least for now.
Ireland lets you bring your pets along if you move there and you don't have to put them in isolation for six months.
Ireland has an orthodox church for those of us who desire one.
I am nearly packing now....LOL.
