	Washington state recently approved a death-with-dignity law.  Since I
	am funding my own suspension, if I choose "assisted suicide" I figure I
	can choose my time (within a guestimate of 6 months of my death).  
	This is only if I die of cancer or other deadly condition and not of 
	"old age" ....

	I already have an MD who has agreed to help me.  The legal stuff is coming
	up as well; I already have a hand-written "will" but do not/would not
	trust that if I qualify for the suicide option.
