In case of emergency

One of the issues that faces retiring ex-pats in Thailand is the right to die. It doesn't exist. Doctors can be prosecuted for murder if they turn off life-support systems, even at the patient's request. Herman Goering had his cynadide capsule and I've got mine. My fear is that I won't be in any fit state to use it. My concerns arise out of the latest Hurricane Katrina stories - the natural disaster made worse by the Bushites. Patients who couldn't be moved could have been left to die - but apparently weren't. A dcotor and two nurses have been indicted for murder - death by lethal injection - but I guess if someone had found out beforehand, the patients could instead have faced death by legal injunction.

As an insurance adjuster of old, I have an interest in these things
