There is a huge difference between withdrawing mechanical ventilation and iv therapies to keep the blood pressure up and withholding food and water.

I was considering *all* methods of ending my own life, but there were not too any that I could carry out on my own without help.

I still remember asking myself, exactly how does a quadriplegic commit suicide.

Starvation was not an option, because they would just stick a needle in my arm...

I would have taken that "out", if it had been offered.
