I am working on a project concerning MAID, medical assistance in dying, commonly called Death With Dignity.  “MAID is authorized in 14 jurisdictions as of early 2026 — 13 states plus Washington, D.C. Oregon was first in 1997. New York became the most recent jurisdiction when Governor Hochul signed the Medical Aid in Dying Act on February 6, 2026. Illinois authorized MAID in December 2025 (effective September 2026). The legal landscape is expanding rapidly“. A. Jump

Early Saturday morning Trump spoke to the country (2am) and basically declared war.  Wait up bucky… don’t you need the US Congress to at least meet and have a discussion?  You, the one who claimed in your ridiculously long stump ramble formally known as the Presidential Address to the Nation, claimed you had stopped 8 wars?  

There might be American loss of life….. he said… well he was right CBS is reporting that 2 Americans were killed 5 injured.   

And here is the really feck’d up thing, you are who you are Trump. Nothing has changed. What I am dumbfounded about is the lack of accountability of Trump.  Where is the backbone of our elected representatives? (outside of Vermont of course) 

As I write about the ethics of Death with Dignity, I am gob smacked at the lack of Dignity giving to other countries. We might not agree or like leaders in other countries, but “Love your Neighbor”( Leviticus 19:18) and then Jesus in Matthew 5:43-45 commands “to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”. 

I am tired of the false prophets, the talking heads, that claim being Christian and yet don’t hold the teachings up, but use the “faith” as a method of claiming riotousness. Death with Dignity; you need two doctors to sign off so you can choses this method. You also need to be clear of mind, no dimensia or TBI. Does it not make sense that Trump needs 2 as well, the House and the Senate and a cognitive assessment?  

No matter what the faith or spiriual belief you may hold, the moral compass needs to have a declination to point us in the right direction.
