Horrible disease - hoping for a cure.

This terrible disease is a reason why medically assisted suicide should be an option. Many people may not want it, and that should be their choice. But for those who do, I think it should be available.

I hope you might consider sending that link to people on your e-mail contact list asking them to consider signing it AND passing it along to THEIR people on their e mail contacts. My father died of ALS. It was horrible. I pray I haven't inherited the gene as there is a familial form of it.
