Extractions: WEB SERVICES: WASHINGTON (AP) In the 1860s, the oldest person to die each year in Sweden was about 100. Last year, that age had risen to 108. Researchers are finding this trend in all industrialized countries and say the very old may get even older. Plotting the increasing maximum age of death among the Swedes, says researcher John R. Wilmoth, suggests the life span of humans is expanding and that there is no clear upper limit.

Honolulu Star-Bulletin Editorial A Hawaii advocate for endof-life choice bemoans inaction on state legislation to legalize physician assisted dying. http://starbulletin.com/2003/03/07/editorial/gathering.html
Extractions: for death with dignity Last Friday I had the rather unpleasant task of contacting my clients to let them know that Hawaii's Death with Dignity bill did not get a hearing this year. My clients, all of whom are dying, had been hoping that Hawaii, like Oregon, would finally pass a law that allowed a competent and terminally ill adult the right to ask for a lethal dose of medication to hasten their death, and thus end what is often prolonged suffering. When asked why, I couldn't answer other than to proffer that perhaps some legislators were swayed by pressure from right-to-life groups; or perhaps they simply felt there were more pressing issues than easing the suffering of a small number of people; or perhaps, as one rather curmudgeonly client I have grown fond of replied, "Dead people can't vote, so they don't give a damn about us." Whatever the reasons, Hawaii once again has failed to enact legislation that would help our terminally ill citizens and the failure isn't limited to assisted dying. The Legislature didn't pass a single bill aimed at correcting the other end-of-life problems identified in a national study in which Hawaii received a negative rating for our failure to have adequate end-of-life pain-management policies. What might have happened if the law had passed? Rather than speculate

BOOKS ON DEATH AND DYING: Thanatology, Necromancy dying to Know About death, Funeral Customs, and Final Resting Places By Lila Perl Encyclopedia of death and dying By Glennys Howarth, Oliver Leaman http://www.anathemabooks.com/death.shtml
Extractions: The "art of dying" and the posthumous journey of the soul have been the subject of extensive literature and visualization in many cultures. "Dying before dying", or practice in dying, has been sought throughout human history, not just to overcome fear and give help at the moment of death, but actually to transfigure the quality of life. Stanislav Grof considers some of the most striking and important of the works known collectively as the "books of the dead": the ancient Egyptian funerary texts; the Tibetan Bardo Thodol; Maya and Aztec myths of death and rebirth. And from medieval Europe come the Christian visions of the soul's journeys, the danses macabres and dialogues with death, and meditational imagery of mortal decay that recalls Tibetan practices.

Death & Dying (Quakerbooks.org) A Song Of death, Our Spiritual Birth A Quaker Way Of dying. BY LUCY SCREECHFIELD MCIVER The author traces her understanding of death as a spiritual birth, http://www.quakerbooks.org/get/444888
Extractions: "Impressive insights into the experience of dying, offered by two hospice nurses with a gift for listening. The `final gifts' of the title are the comfort and enlightenment offered by the dying to those attending them, and in return, the peace and reassurance offered to the dying by those who hear their needs. .[The authors] offer practical advice not only to involved family members but also to professional caregivers on how to recognize, understand, and respond to a dying person's messages. No lugubriousness or false cheerfulness here, but acute observations and astute advice on a difficult topic." - Kirkus Reviews
VQ Spring 2003 An article about Barbara Coombs Lee, president of the Compassion in dying Federation. http://www.aavc.vassar.edu/vq/spring2003/articles/beyond/death.html
Extractions: After receiving her law degree from Lewis and Clark College, Lee was administrator and counsel for an Oregon State Senate committee, where she worked alongside Oregon State Senator Frank Roberts, who had terminal prostate cancer. Lee saw his proposed aid-in-dying bill defeated in the state senate and a similar ballot measure narrowly defeated in Washington State. The issue still sparks passionate debate. Much of the moral controversy surrounding assisted dying concerns its potential misuse or abuse, with opponents fearing that individuals might end their lives too quickly or that the decision might not be completely voluntary. Political debate centers on whether assisted dying falls under state or federal jurisdiction. It is in this area that Lee has encountered fierce opposition from the federal government, via Attorney General John Ashcroft. In November 2001, the Justice Department issued its determination that the Controlled Substances Act prohibits Oregon doctors from prescribing lethal doses of medication to terminally ill patients, and thus bars doctors from using the Oregon law. www.compassionindying.org

Reading Assignment Notes On April 15, 1975, at age 21, Karen Quinlan stopped breathing after ingesting alcohol, and an assortment of drugs. She was revived but suffered severe brain damage from anoxia and entered a vegetative state. Karen Quinlan's parents did remove her from the respirator thinking this would allow her to die. However, she did not die. In fact she lived in a persistive vegetative state until 1985, when she died of pneumonia

The Tibetan Book Of The Dead: The Art Of Dying The Art of dying. Esoteric Instructions on death and Liberation. Tibetan literature devoted to the topic of death and dying in the context of Buddhist http://www.lib.virginia.edu/small/exhibits/dead/dying.html
Extractions: Tibetan literature devoted to the topic of death and dying in the context of Buddhist meditative practice is immense. This literature can be organized into several related genres that comprise not only those texts that came to be treated as canonical (see Section 1 above) but also include the instructional advice, dam-ngak (gdams ngag), on yogic and contemplative practice derived from the esoteric experiences of advanced Tantric Buddhist teachers. Characteristically, these instructional systems provide important insights into how the ordinary dying experience, and the subsequent intermediate bardo period, can be altered and purified through a process of intense training, involving the radical manipulation of physical and psychological energies to bring about transformative and extra-ordinary states of consciousness.

Extractions: WELCOME! Embracing Our Dying is the Catholic response to the political and social efforts to promote the acceptance and eventual legalization of "assisted suicide" in California. The dying are among the most vulnerable of our human community. We Catholics believe that we are called to embrace them as they approach the end of life. We believe that a dying person's request for "assisted suicide" is actually a cry for help coming from a fear of helplessness and a fear of abandonment. We also know that if the dying are embraced by their family and their community, they will not seek death, but will live their last days well, and then accept death when it comes. Included on the site is an overview of Catholic moral theology on death and dying, current medical and hospital practices, the state of the law regarding end-of-life issues, comments on the current political situation, and information on parish nurses, parish health ministry, hospice care and other parish-based services.
