Georgian Soprano Tamar Iveri Plans Benefit Concert To Apologize To Gay People
Georgian soprano Tamar Iveri announced yesterday that she intends to hold a benefit concert in Tbilisi dedicated to sexual minorities, reports Classical Lite.
Last month, Iveri was released from her contract with Opera Australia after posting anti-gay comments on Facebook in which she referred to gay people as "faecal masses." The homophobic post was framed as a letter to the Georgian president regarding the violence which occurred at a gay march in Georgia in 2012.
Iveri said that the planned concert, which is "dedicated to the victims of all kinds of violence," is to apologize to LGBT people.
The concert will take place in Tbilisi on October 11, which is National Coming Out Day. All money raised at the event will be used to assist victims of violence.
Describing Iveri's views as "unconscionable", Opera Australia has since replaced her with Armenian soprano Lianna Haroutounian.
Nope. This wasn't an accidental utterance of "Faggot". This was a well thought out missive containing her genuine thoughts about gay people. This is not something she can just backtrack by giving a concert. No sir.

OK. She cheered violence and persecution against LGBT folks; got fired; and now can't find work. So, what does she do? She holds a phony apology concert to kiss and make up.
Posted by: Marshall | Jul 20, 2014 2:03:22 PM
Just a desperate attempt to save her career. But it will not work. The money raised from this concert is not going to aid the victims of anti-gay violence.

Shove it honey. We're not impressed. Wishing you a very long and rainy night in Georgia.

Tamar Iveri is a MONSTER. One can NOT make the type of comments she did and do a 180 weeks later.
All she gives a damn about his her IMAGE and her $$$INCOME$$$. That's ALL that matters to her.
She LIED and tried to scapegoat her husband for her hideous comments, and now she's LYING about her remorse.
She can go to hell. People like her are SCUM.
She still believes every word of what she said; she's just upset that there were negative consequences for HER; if there weren't she would be pushing further like the Naziesque she-beast that she is.

Now she can no longer find work as a singer she has to find a real job ! She doesn't want to have to actually work for a living so she is apologizing so she can get her job back.
What a self absorbed bitc# !

She has a wobble you can drive a truck through. It's a passable voice, but nothing special. With that wobble she won't have a long career.

Sorry, darling. As the Prima Donna Assoluta of the Bacon Level / Hickory Flat Consolidated Opera Company, I can assure you that a good soprano voice and a couple of dollars can get you a cup of coffee. You can be - and have been - replaced.

We must be forgiving, people! It is a first offense. We should wait until the second offense before we skewer and pillory.
Posted by: will | Jul 20, 2014 2:27:24 PM
She claimed her husband made those comments. Was that ever disproven?
Posted by: BobN | Jul 20, 2014 2:28:18 PM
She is taking step to the right direction, she made a bad and sad and big mistake, but life is full of mistakes. I'll watch and see, how she will come out of this.

Never trust a Russian! Her silence is golden!
Posted by: Frogview | Jul 20, 2014 2:43:57 PM
What a bizarre woman! She totally supports the way the government of Georgia allowed haters and neo-nazis to spit on and beat gay marchers --even to the point of writing a letter of support to the President of Georgia who allowed the gay marchers to be attacked...
so she's going to give a BENEFIT CONCERT in this entirely homophobic country of Georgia with proceeds going to support the LGBT community?!? Who exactly is going to attend this concert?? The Georgians who hate gays (or don't hate gays but cannot be open about not hating gays there)??? The gays in Georgia, who this woman called "fecal masses"...? What an asinine idea. This woman has no clue and her handlers are just making it worse by this ridiculous stunt!
Posted by: Dan Cobb | Jul 20, 2014 2:50:14 PM
BOBN... it was disproven. She actually SIGNED the letter that had that language. Those statements were her own. Obviously trying to pass it all off on her husband is just a manipulation to try to save her career. Typical Russian hater... typical Russian liar.
Posted by: Dan Cobb | Jul 20, 2014 2:51:28 PM
WILL: Her letter to the President of Georgia praised the president for allowing the fascists to attack and hurt gay people. She called gays the FECAL MASSES.
Wow... I guess the KKK should be given a "second chance" by blacks... and maybe the Jews should consider reviving Hitlerism and giving him a second chance. Are you really such an utter naive moron? Really?
Posted by: Dan Cobb | Jul 20, 2014 2:53:05 PM
I'm sure she'll be more popular than ever with the Vladimir Putin crowd. Don't know why she's worried... she'll have bigger audiences than ever in Russia and the middle east where she can make insulting gays part of her show.
She's probably just sorry that she'll only be paid in sacks of potatoes and carrots in the future. All that hard currency from opera houses in the west just went up in smoke.
Posted by: Dan Cobb | Jul 20, 2014 2:56:27 PM
@"WILL" The people who deserve to be skewered and pilloried are people like Tamar Iveri and disingenuous liars like you.
Who's "we"??? You're posturing as a member of the LGBT community? You have no gay sensibility. You expect us to believe you're an LGBT person who doesn't mind being called fecal masses, and doesn't mind that a public figure condoned very real violence including the breaking of jaws?! You're not LGBT.
You're a troll. And you're probably "BOBN" and "MATT27" as all those responses are very short, written in the same style, and appear consecutively.
So to answer your other question under another name, Tamar eventually admitted that she lied and said her husband did it.
She didn't make a 'sad and big mistake'; that's what Jonah Hill did. Tamar Iveri did much much worse; she's a she-devil! And she doesn't deserve to be forgiven by LGBTs.
Posted by: Anon | Jul 20, 2014 3:02:28 PM
Ba-boom! Career over. No gay person should EVER work or be associated with her ever.
Posted by: Mike Ryan | Jul 20, 2014 3:19:14 PM
Sopranos are a dime a dozen. Career over!
Posted by: Frogview | Jul 20, 2014 3:51:25 PM
Her rampant homophobia will not hurt her career at all in Putin's Russia. Her apology is because it will hurt her career elsewhere in the world. So why doesn't she just stay home and sing for the homophobes? My guess is that she doesn't want to live in the ugly world that bigots ALWAYS make around them. Homophobic societies are awful places to live for everyone. But it is justice that this piece of filth will be stuck in the nasty world that her nastiness helps create.
Posted by: Kit | Jul 20, 2014 4:04:06 PM
She's a known bigot and a liar. With her track record of low moral character, her international career is over -- at least in any nation that matters.
Oh, is she going to be a bitter old woman.
Posted by: oncemorewithfeeling | Jul 20, 2014 4:13:04 PM
Agree with all these comments. This woman is VILE.
Posted by: Rowan | Jul 20, 2014 5:28:49 PM
Really? Is this woman's eyesight so bad that she never recognized the number of opera queens on the other side of the footlights?
Posted by: jmartindale | Jul 20, 2014 5:37:47 PM
It almost hurts to think of her fall. Splat. So flat there won't even be a dental record. What was her name again?
COBB - to be "paid in sacks of potatoes and carrots" - that was funny, as well as telling of the world she comes from and is now stuck in. Onions. She'll get some onions too but won't need them to cry.
Posted by: UFFDA | Jul 20, 2014 6:11:56 PM
No matter what business you are in, you do not bite the hand that feeds you. In opera many of those hands are gay. Her career is over, at least in the West.

The National Transportation Safety Board is calling on the FAA to take another look at the safety of the battery used in its Dreamliners. The recommendations issued by the NTSB on Thursday call on the FAA to evaluate whether additional requirements and independent testing outside the aviation industry are needed on the lithium ion batteries used in the Boeing 787s. Incidents involving the batteries' failure caused the fleet to be grounded last year. The FAA released its own internal study earlier this year concluding that it had an effective process in place to identify and correct problems that emerged before and after certification.

Last summer's flooding had more to do with the unpredictability of the English summer than climate change, scientists say in a new report.
The deluge between May-July - when more than 16 inches of rain fell - happened on average only once every 200 years and was unlikely to be linked to changing weather patterns.
But the report from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology says that although it was "remarkable in its extent and severity", statistically it could happen again at any time and demonstrated how vulnerable Britain is to extreme weather events.
Widespread flooding across Yorkshire, the Midlands and the West Country followed the wettest May-July since records began in 1766. There was almost four inches more rain - the equivalent of seven weeks of rainfall - than the previous record set in 1789.
The floods left 14 people dead and caused £3bn of damage to thousands of homes and businesses.
The scientists examined both flood and meteorological data which led to previously unknown levels of flooding across whole regions of the country rather than more localised events such as Boscastle in Devon in 2004.
The report's lead author Terry Marsh said: " The river floods of 2007 were a very singular episode which does not form part of any clear historical trend or show consistency with currently favoured climate change scenarios."
He added: "Exceptional river flooding last summer fuelled speculation that flood risk is increasing due to global warming. Due to the inherent variability of the UK climate, any extreme hydrological event cannot be linked directly to climate change."
The huge amount of rain that fell in May and July did not fit the expected pattern of warmer, drier summers and warmer, wetter winters. But it was in line with warnings of more frequent and dramatic weather events caused by a warming climate.
Although there was a well-established trend of increasing temperatures in the last 100 years, rainfall patterns were much more unpredictable.
The report, published in the International Journal of Climatology, said there was evidence of increased rainfall in the uplands of north and western UK producing stronger river flows but it was impossible to say whether this was as a result of climate change.
The scientists had looked at historical flow records for two rivers, the River Avon at Evesham and the River Thames at Kingston but there was no evidence of any great change despite significant increases in temperature and seasonal rainfall patterns since the 1850s. And better management of the rivers had reduced the risk of them flooding.
There was even a possibility that climate change had a silver lining: snow melt - which caused the worst flood of the 20th century in England and Wales in 1947 - would be less of a factor because of rising temperatures, and warmer, drier summers meant that the soil would be better equipped to absorb heavier winter rain.
But much of the damage in last year's floods was caused not by the rivers in several major basins overflowing but by drains and sewerage systems being overwhelmed by surface run-off which led to flash-flooding. About two-thirds of properties - and more than 8,000 in Hull alone - were damaged in this way.
Mr Marsh said: "Even if risk is decreasing in a hydrological sense, vulnerability is going up massively in that period due to flood plain development."
He added: "It is possible with wetter winters, the frequency of ground water flooding in vulnerable areas may increase."

Survivin: a promising biomarker for detection and prognosis of bladder cancer

Survivin is a 16.5 kDa member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family that is overexpressed in many malignancies but rarely detected in normal differentiated adult tissues. Functionally, Survivin inhibits apoptosis, promotes cell proliferation, and induces/enhances angiogenesis. In transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, Survivin has been shown to be a promising biomarker for cancer diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of response to intravesical or systemic therapies. Moreover, in pre-clinical bladder tumor models, inhibition of Survivin expression and/or function has been shown to impede tumor cell proliferation, and markedly induce spontaneous or chemotherapy induced apoptosis. These preliminary findings should now be confirmed in large prospective trials. Furthermore, simplified, quantitative and reproducible assays need to be developed and validated for the detection of Survivin and its different isoforms.

The most important thing is to drink water and eat nutritious meals and get sufficient sleep. Look for drinks, bars, and gels that have less sugar. Stay away from the ones with caffeine. Experiment with them to see which ones work for you. Experiment with foods to see which ones can be eaten an hour or so before you run. Drink water before you run as well as during the run to replace liquid lost from sweat.
Concerning the half-marathon, if possible, work up to a distance of 15 miles such that you feel comfortable with that distance. Then, 13.1 miles will be no challenge. For your first half, forget about speed -- just enjoy the run. If you're doing 15 miles for your long runs, then just run the half as a training run to set a Personal Best. Then in subsequent halfs, you can improve on your PB.

Bryan Eisenberg | January 30, 2004 | Comments
Make online high-consideration purchases easier -- one step at a time.
Research indicates most complex sales begin with online information searches. A complex sale may involve automotive, financial services, or real estate. It could also be a business shopping for new suppliers, real estate, or professional services. Many people prefer to break e-commerce into business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) sites. I prefer to categorize it into complex, straightforward, and impulse sales. After all, a business spends as much time considering the purchase of a $0.39 pen as an individual does.
Complex sales require a much greater degree of self-disclosure on the seller's part. That's why buying research isn't entirely performed on the manufacturer's Web site. Think automobiles. The Internet is the perfect place to dig for all the information necessary to make a more considered purchase. Yet based on a research study we're conducting, complex sales sites have plenty of work to do before they satisfy visitors.
Less-Complex Sales Benefit From Metrics
Consumer sites, even B2B e-commerce sites, receive the most attention. They've noticeably improved from when I first started writing this column. I attribute this to direct marketing metrics playing an ever-greater role in e-commerce Web sites. What's now measured is how many sales are completed. This in itself limits marketers' horizons.
E-commerce is very different from traditional direct marketing. Yet pure conversion metrics tend to ignore visitors who fail to purchase. Microaction and branding metrics must be incorporated into the mix.
Assist Visitors With Complex-Sale Investigations
The Internet is a vast repository of information that aids visitors involved in a considered purchase. Before the Internet, considered purchases relied much more on established relationships and were difficult to research. When shoppers seek to fulfill their needs, logic would dictate once they find exactly what they're looking for, they'll buy. Persuasion helps them realize what you offer is what they need or want.
A salesperson can meet a prospect, build rapport, and qualify her needs or wants, then present based on the qualification. If the salesperson did a good job, the closing feels natural and comfortable to both parties. Can a Web site do that? Of course. That's what persuasion architecture is about.
The Internet is unique in three fundamental ways:
Consider Persuasive Momentum
The essence of the Internet experience is how visitors click from one hyperlink to the next. How they feel about that experience is determined by whether each click fulfills the visitor's expectations and needs. Satisfaction with each click (a microaction) increases their confidence they'll get what they came for (the goal, or macroaction).
Web sites offer many products and services serving multiple audiences with diverse needs. The dilemma is how to build a persuasive experience so each and every visitor can fulfill his individual needs on the same Web site.
Most complex sales sites develop as a result of a group of people from different departments compromising on what elements their site "needs" to have. Then, they compromise on a look and feel. Their visitors see the elements as they're presented, not necessarily as they want them to be presented.
Under these conditions, visitors do as they please. They look where they feel like looking and click wherever they want. What's left to measure but randomness and inferred intent?
Create Persuasive Momentum
What keeps conversation flowing is wireframe use to anticipate and plan scenarios of how each persona will experience the Web site, click by click. Only then can we begin to write copy and storyboard based on click-through patterns.
In the storyboard, we determine what elements we'll need to reinforce the messaging and solicit the actions we desire. At this point, we haven't yet talked to a developer or designer. All we do is develop the patterns and words that will persuade visitors. These patterns establish scenario design and scenario optimization.
Scenarios Boost ROI
Every word and pixel are deliberately placed to control where visitors click. They focus shoppers in the direction they want, and you want them, to take. Controlling variables in this manner later permits A/B testing, as you can change one variable at a time. The metrics you really need to track to optimize the scenario become obvious.
If you can't control a process, you can't improve it. If visitors don't click in the specific direction or pattern you predicted, assumptions are wrong. Because you controlled the variables, you can create a variation on the scenario and tweak it until you meet business objectives.
Deconstruct how and why visitors took a particular action. You'll get a clear picture of the road and the obstacles on it.
Continually research and analyze click-through errors (clicks not part of your scenarios) to help incrementally reduce cost, boost success, enhance customer relevance, accelerate the rate of improvement, execute strategic change, and provide insight into the "right" metrics.
In the long term, this propels you toward perfection. You can use failure to your advantage. A winning racehorse yields 10 times more than the runner-up. Not because he's 10 times faster, but because he's incrementally better. Scenario design helps improve every aspect of your site, incrementally, until you outrun the competition and garner far greater results.

Kyle Busch dominates Bristol for 2nd win of season
BRISTOL, Tenn. Kyle Busch didn't bother to smooth things over with the pit crew that cost him a victory at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Quite the opposite, actually.
A day after blaming his Joe Gibbs Racing team for costing him a victory in the Nationwide Series race, Busch leaned on his crew to help him to a dominating win in the Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday. There were no apologies for his frustration on Saturday, when he punished his crew for a pit road penalty by abandoning his car in Turn 3 instead of driving it back to the team transporter.
"We don't talk about that. If they don't know (to get over it), they don't need to be working for me," Busch said. "These guys are great. They appreciate what I do behind the wheel. I appreciate what they do on pit road. That's a given in any team."
But he still had to nudge them just a bit to make sure his crew knew the importance of Sunday's final pit stop. In the Nationwide race, they fumbled a tire on the final stop to take Busch out of contention.
Many of the same crew members work on his Cup team, and given a second chance, they got him out front ahead of teammate Denny Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson on the final pit stop – critical track position that helped him hang on for the win.
"I told the ladies to `Man up, get the job done on the last stop,' which they did," Busch said. "I'm proud of them for doing that. When the time mattered most, they got the job done."
Busch led 378 of 503 laps in a rewarding win for a driver who has had so many slip away on the .533-mile bullring. Two of his near misses were last season, when he lost his power steering while leading last spring and was bumped from the front in August by Carl Edwards after leading 415 laps.
"We should have won here last fall, we should have won here yesterday," Busch said. "This place probably owes me a few. But you can never ask a race track to pay you back. You just have to just keep working on it."
Busch has now won a race in at least one of NASCAR's top three series every weekend this season. It started with a victory in the non-points qualifying race at Daytona and followed with wins in the Truck and Nationwide Series at California, the Cup race at Las Vegas, and the Nationwide race at Atlanta.
Track position was critical as the race wound down, and Hamlin knew his best chance at catching his teammate was on pit road. Although his crew moved him from third to second on the final stop, it wasn't enough and he had to settle for a second-place finish.
"He just has a way of taking off really, really good on the short run," Hamlin said. "I knew unless we got out on pit road ahead of him on that last pit stop, it was going to be tough."

Way too expense for what you got.{for a dress} Especially for a baby. Had to buy accessories.
I purchased this for my baby granddaughter, about to turn 1 year old. Mommy was so excited! But when she put baby into the costume, baby cried inconsolably, pulling at the rough, scratchy material. The sleeves are a particular problem. Mom said the costume was super cute, but she just couldn't bear to see baby so unhappy and uncomfortable. I received three photographs of baby crying her head off, pulling at the costume to try to remove it. I would think designers would consider fabric quality when creating for infants. Not the case here--though this was priced as a higher end costume! We had to return the entire outfit and start the process all over again--losing valuable time, and of course shipping and tax costs.

Young hunter gets 'second chance,' downs 4x8 buck near Julian
Hunter education
A California Department of Fish & Game Hunter Education class for all first-time hunters is being offered Dec. 8 and 9 at the Escondido Fish & Game shooting range in Valley Center. The two-day class begins each day at 7:30 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m. Participants will receive a California Hunter Safety certificate, which is required to purchase a hunting license in the state.
For more information or to sign up for the class, contact Frank Alessio at (760) 743-8718 or email
The club range is at the corner of Lake Wohlford Road and Guejito Road, east of Lake Wohlford.
Lake Wohlford
Trout season at Lake Wohlford east of Escondido is scheduled to open Dec. 8 with 4,500 pounds of Nebraska tailwalkers stocked in advance. The lake is closed on weekdays, but will reopen to a daily schedule for trout season.
The best action at Lake Wohlford is for catfish, with Cedric Patton from San Diego checking in with a 16-pound, 4-ounce cat caught at Twin Peaks with cut mackerel.
Ranger George Scalo said medium-size bass are starting to show up at the scales. Chris Lenker from Valley Center caught and released a 6-pound, 12-ounce bass while fishing near Crappie Rock and tossing a plastic worm. Scalo said dark-colored plastics are currently the preferred bait for bass.

Juliette Binoche in talks to star in new 'Godzilla' movie
'Kick-Ass' star Aaron Johnson and 'Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston are also negotiating rolesBuy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche is set to join the cast of the new Godzilla movie.
According to Variety, the star of Chocolat and The English Patient is "in negotiations" for a lead role in the reboot. At present, character descriptions and plot details for the film are being kept firmly under wraps.
Earlier this month (February), actress Elizabeth Olsen confirmed she is attached and said of the reboot: "It's definitely not lighthearted. It's kind of going back to its roots of the original Japanese film."
Meanwhile, Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston are also said to be in talks for roles.
The new Godzilla movie is being helmed by British director Gareth Edwards, who made his name with 2010's Monsters, an acclaimed sci-fi flick shot for just $500,000 (£308,000). Shooting is due to begin in March and Warner Bros has scheduled the movie for a May 2014 opening.
Godzilla began as an Japanese film franchise that ran for 28 pictures between 1954 and 2004. The giant monster has also starred in comic books, novels, TV series and video games. Independence Day director Roland Emmerich helmed a previous Hollywood remake in 1998, but it was poorly received.

Vines didn't play any pro majors in 1937 and 1938. He just focused on winning the pro tours instead. He entered the French Pro just twice, winning it in 1935 and runner-up in 1939. He entered the Wembley Pro 4 times, winning 3 of them in a row (1934-1936), and he only entered the US Pro twice, winning it in 1939 and losing a semi final to Nusslein in 1934. So, Vines competed in 8 professional majors and won 5 of them, and 2 of the 3 that he didn't win were in 1939.
I think I have Vines ahead of Budge for the 1930s, because Budge came to prominence in the late 1930s, whereas Vines had the whole decade. The war years would have been Budge's peak, in my opinion. By the time the war was over, Budge was slightly past his prime and Riggs was the best in the world before Kramer turned professional in late 1947.
Of course, the real reason for Budge being put ahead of Vines in the 1930s on many people's list is his CYGS in 1938. They don't delve any deeper. Even Budge confirming in 1939 that he was the best player in the world by becoming the best professional, is unlikely to have registered on their radar. Budge is considered the best player in the world in 1938 because of the CYGS, but was he really better than Vines and Nusslein that year? Perry, and even Tilden, were still forces to be reckoned with in 1938 as well.
And you have to considered that they first tour was very close between Budge and Vines. It's possible that Vines may have played the first tour injured, at least for part of it. We know that Vines was hurt and was serving underhanded in some of the matches. I'm not sure if it was in the first tour or the second or both.
Vines defeated Tilden and Perry on tour fairly easily.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini insists striker Fabrizio Miccoli is not moving to Birmingham City.
The Rosanero have confirmed a new offer has arrived from Birmingham for the Italy international.
"Miccoli will not leave Palermo," claimed Zamparini. "Our fans shouldn't worry because Miccoli will stay with us.
"Regarding the offer which came from Birmingham, it is all about Miccoli's agent. They want to renegotiate his contract but he has two years left and I do not wish to change our agreement."
The offer was confirmed by the Rosanero's sporting director Walter Sabatini, but he reiterated Zamparini's stance.
"Birmingham sent us a fax and we took only five minutes to reply: we are not interested," added Sabatini.
"We have no appointment set with the player's agent either. Our club has been pretty clear about that."

The Nov. 6 election ballot has three questions, although Question 1, the so-called "Right to Repair" law, was settled when the state Legislature passed a law after the deadline to remove the question from the ballot.
Information on Question 2 from Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin's website, www.sec.state.ma.us, reads as follows — "This proposed law would allow a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at a terminally ill patient's request, to end that patient's life. To qualify, a patient would have to be an adult resident who (1) is medically determined to be mentally capable of making and communicating health care decisions; (2) has been diagnosed by attending and consulting physicians as having an incurable, irreversible disease that will, within reasonable medical judgment, cause death within six months; and (3) voluntarily expresses a wish to die and has made an informed decision. The proposed law states that the patient would ingest the medicine in order to cause death in a humane and dignified manner.
"A yes vote would enact the proposed law allowing a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at the request of a terminally-ill patient meeting certain conditions, to end that person's life.
"A no vote would make no change in existing laws."
Representatives on each side of the issue have been invited to submit columns in support of their position.
Yes – Terminally ill should be able to choose when they die
By Heather Clish
When my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer, he gave serious thought to how he would stay true to himself during his final days. Five months later, as his care transitioned to hospice, he chose to use the Death with Dignity option in his home state of Oregon.
My dad wanted to live. But his diagnosis was clear and his tumor was killing him. He wrote a friend about why he planned to choose the Death with Dignity option, "I have been an independent person since I was 13 years old. The brain tumor I have is draining that independence in painful sips rather than one, enormous bite. I have options for many of the small things and will use them. But I have a larger option. I can choose the time and place of my death. This choice is neither more selfish nor more generous to the living I leave behind. Although it has strong elements of each, it is simply the last choice I can make for myself."
My dad was a kind and gentle, yet strong-willed and independent man. He lived with intention and enjoyed life immensely. He wasn't done exploring, learning, creating or sharing. He had more stories to tell his young grandchildren and he anticipated the day he would teach my son his woodworking craft.
Page 2 of 3 - With the extra months treatment gave him, he welcomed friends and family, imparted his wisdom and prepared for what was to come. Even as he said goodbye to many people for whom he knew there would never be another hello, he always had attention, love and laughter to give the next visitors.
Certainly not everyone would take the same approach my dad chose. But with the Death with Dignity law, my dad could find a bit of relief and control despite a disease nobody could control, stay connected rather than sedated, tell us he loved us and understand how much we loved him and go peacefully in my mother's arms.
Question 2 on the Massachusetts ballot this November will give mentally competent, terminally ill adults an option to take life-ending medication prescribed by a physician. No doctor is forced to participate and nobody is forced to take the medication within a certain timeframe or ever.
I urge you to vote yes on Question 2 because, while this choice is not for everyone, everyone has a right to this choice.
Heather Clish is writing on behalf of Dignity 2012.
No — Proposal lacks safeguards and is potentially dangerous
By Rosanne Bacon Meade
On Nov. 6, voters will be asked to decide on a dramatic shift in Massachusetts policy — whether to legalize physician-assisted suicide for those with a terminal diagnosis.
This ballot question is poorly written, confusing and flawed, which is why concerned doctors, nurses, hospice workers, religious leaders and citizens have come together from around the state to urge residents to vote no on Election Day.
Regardless of your position on physician-assisted suicide, Question 2's lack of safeguards is disconcerting and suggests potentially dangerous ramifications.
For instance, patients would not be required to seek psychiatric care before obtaining the lethal drug. Multiple studies – including a recent NIH study – show that between 25 and 50 percent of those receiving a terminal diagnosis develop clinical (and treatable) depression.
Furthermore, patients would not be required to receive counseling regarding palliative care approaches, even though tremendous strides have been made in relieving pain for those with ongoing diseases. Advances in palliative and hospice have allowed many with terminal diseases to live active and largely symptom-free lives and allow others near death to experience limited pain and suffering.
Worst of all, in my opinion, Question 2 would not require any family notification. A 40-year-old father of three could receive a troubling diagnosis and, without consulting his spouse or other family members, obtain the lethal dose and take his life – alone.
These are three key flaws to this poorly written ballot initiative. And there's more.
It lacks any public safety oversight once the lethal drug is obtained; a suicide prescription could fall into the hands of someone for whom it was not prescribed. No medical professional is required to be with the person when the 80 to 100 pills are consumed. Question 2 sidesteps any questions about possible complications involved in taking the pills, or what happens to the pills if they are not consumed.
Page 3 of 3 - The people of this state deserve a real debate on this very complicated issue. As it stands, Question 2 is flawed, dangerous and would result in an ill-conceived policy for Massachusetts. Our committee has brought together a wide coalition of individuals and groups who oppose Question 2 on several levels. The Massachusetts Medical Society, Massachusetts Osteopathic Society, Massachusetts Academy of Family Physicians and Hospice and Palliative Care Federation of Massachusetts each oppose physician-assisted suicide. On Nov. 6, we ask that you do the same by voting no on Question 2.
Rosanne Bacon Meade is the chairman of the Committee Against Physician-Assisted Suicide.
