David Goodall: Scientist

I got quite emotional when I read this this morning.

It must have been a dreadful, heartbreaking time for his grandchildren and all the family. I, personally don't think I would have wanted my grandchildren there in the place I was to end my life voluntary but I guess it's personal choice. Obviously it will have been spoken about at length though and they must have said they wanted to be there. I would however, want my husband to be with me as I wouldn't want to die alone.

To want to end ones life you have to be at the depths of despair and/or in dreadful pain. I'm not sure I would be brave enough to end my life voluntary, but of course one can never be certain but I do hope my life comes to an end naturally when it's my time.

What would be your last meal and what music would you want to go with.

MacDonalds plain cheeseburger with a chocolate shake.

I would like to choose when I die, I don't want to be helpless or in dreadful pain.

Yes, it really made me feel quite emotional for his grandchildren and family. So sad.

Well he was 104, he is fortunate to have a such a good innings, I don't think his death is sad, especially as it is what he wanted.
