That’s the way I read it also, and that is what I said in my comment. He opted to die a horrible death but wanted others not to commit suicide, which to me is an individual choice for people suffering from terminal illness(or for any other reason as far as that goes). If I ever get ALS I will not wait for the end part where you are trapped helpless, unable to speak or communicate with your loved ones. How terrible it was for the people involved in the case that I knew of and watched the poor guy die and the family and friends(including me)suffer.
“He showed us how to live with real dignity and die naturally and comfortably."That's what you had your hissy fit over. Stop pretending it was over something else which was never said.
That's a much better way to go than the one he heroically fought against.
What is it about dying naturally and comfortably that you find so objectionable?
