Some members of my club—the one no one wants to join—a club for people living with metastatic cancer, choose to end their suffering through Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID). In Canada, it’s legal and carried out in hospitals or certain hospices with an IV injection that eases you into sleep and brings the heart to rest—two of our "members" have taken that path in the past weeks.
Now we’re on Betton Island, near Ketchikan, Alaska, standing in a primordial forest. I think I’d rather lie down on a bed of moss, soft, lush, and green, and slowly compost back into the earth.
