DyingWith Dignity Canada is a blog created by a Canadian organization of the same
name. The goals of the blog are to inform, advocate, and support those who
support physician assisted suicide initiatives and those who are suffering from
terminal illnesses in Canada. Their motto “It’s Your Life. It’s Your Choice” is
typical of many organizations created to advocate for physician assisted
suicide. After searching the blog, it appears that there are posts from
individuals who are in the position to potentially utilize an initiative for
physician assisted suicide, from doctors and others in the healthcare
profession who support these initiatives, and updates from around the world
where there are Death with Dignity initiatives up for vote. There are also areas
where someone looking at the site could go to receive information on the
organization as well as on the issue of physician assisted suicide. They have a
large section on the rights of someone who is terminally ill and support for
those in need. The biggest part of the blog, however, is a section of personal
stories. This section does an amazing job of putting a face to the issue of
death with dignity in Canada by building the pathos.
