Over at Not Dead Yet, a post about a proposed change of language in assisted suicide- redefining terminally ill to terminal conditions- a change due to be discussed next week.
From the Not Dead Yet site:
A link to HB 304 - AN ACT relative to death with dignity for certain persons suffering from a terminal condition.
Definition of "terminal condition":
XIII. “Terminal condition” means an incurable and irreversible condition, for the end stage of which there is no known treatment which will alter its course to death, and which, in the opinion of the attending physician and consulting physician competent in that disease category, will result in premature death.
Read that definition carefully, terminality is defined as having a condition that is irreversible and will result in a premature death. My partner would fit that definition. Many people I work with also fit the definition.
None of them are dying.
