It should be legal here, if there is such a thing as a comfortable death he had one.

He was a very old man who was well past his three score years and ten, what is there to be sad about?

Everyone has to die sometime, it is sad when some dies well before their time, but can't see any sadness about someone dying when they have reached a great old age like this guy.

Re: David Goodall: Scientist

I think there is always something sad about someone wanting to die, however old and ill they are. And hard for his children and grandchildren to know he chose to leave them. Was there really nothing that made him want to stay, even just one more day?

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Have his children and grandchildren stated that they found his decision hard?
