RE: The Impossible Decision - A Fifty Words Story
Great story, @ablaze. Hard decision to help someone leave pain and suffering behind.

Thanks @hlezama... The final goodbye was the first thing that popped into my mind for this prompt and soon after Euthanasia, so I decided to go with that theme this week. Glad you enjoyed it. It must be such a tough decision to make, but I guess ultimately someone else has made their decision, you are just assisting them. The trouble is with the law and potentially getting charged with murder. To be fair though it is a very tricky subject and must be very hard to legislate for.
Yes, it is tricky; although some countries complicate it more than others. I think that the individuals should own their bodies, decide what to do with it. No state should impose suffering to a person or their family just invoking an alleged respect for life no matter what.
States tend to do things and support actions that violate life in ways more radical and disgusting than a person's decision to end it when it's fair or they see fit.
