Right To Die?

As humans we have basic rights and freedoms, in free societies, that are expected. Where we work, how we worship, what we eat, how we play, how we look.....but not how we die.

Suicide is a taboo topic. Assisted suicide even more so. It is ironic that people are ok with sending men and women to die for country, demand the death penalty for criminals, but even hint at wanting to end your pain and suffering and your soul is damned to hell.

Your Personality When You Undress

How you get undressed reveals your personality ........!!
If you throw your clothes all over the place, you are a friendly, life-of-the-party type. You are free with your thoughts and opinions, not caring much about what others think of you. Your parents might think your room looks like a cyclone hit it but it actually represents your happy, individualistic nature.If you remove each piece of clothing and put it away carefully, you are a serious person who likes her life to be very calm. You are comfortable with routine, and you believe that the best way to deal with life's problems is to prevent them in the first place. You are a perfectionist. By nature you are quite shy. You are observant and you know more about some people than they think, just because you've watched them. You are dependable and sometimes intense. You think carefully before making decisions. You go about your tasks methodically, with concentration. You know how to pay attention.If you take off the shirt, and…
