EuthaNEWSia (www.euthanewsia.ca)

Russell Wangersky writes about listening to the two hour discussion of euthanasia on the CBC's Cross Country Checkup radio program, and contrasting the calm discussion with the difficult death of his mother from cancer. She asked him to end her life, and he did not. He concludes: "I'm still torn by my own decision, and the thing I didn't do for my mother."

Earlier, he said: "The part I did hear included a National Post columnist and a doctor, waxing philosophical about the moral rights and wrongs of the issue - and it made me think that there's a huge gulf between thinking and knowing."
