Now, a 66-year old woman who was diagnosed last month with pancreatic cancer has used that law.  Linda Fleming &#8220;<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/05/22/assisted.suicide/index.html">took her prescribed medication and died Thursday evening at home with her family, her dog and her physician</a>.&#8221;</p>

<p>Fleming said the increased pain medications she took affected her mind and alertness.  She said, &#8220;I am a very spiritual person, and it was very important to me to be conscious, clear-minded and alert at the time of my death.&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure how I feel about assisted suicide.  I&#8217;ll like to believe that if you&#8217;re terminally ill, you should be able to make that choice.  I don&#8217;t think people should suffer.  But I also trust faith to lead us to our end.  How do you feel about assisted suicide?</p>
