8/11(Tue.)Tuesdays with Morrie(Host:Tom)
Hi Yoyoers,
I've read the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" several year ago. But recently I found it was filmed as a movie on youtube, and I watched again. I am still touched by the story.
I think there are many phophilosophys that we can learn from the movie. I hope you also can enjoy it.

Session 1
1. Do you have any teacher or life mentor who you haven't met for a while and want to meet him/her again before you die?
2. Do you want to have a living funeral as Morrie did? What do you want your real funeral to be?
3. What is it about silence that makes people uneasy?
Session 2
1. Morrie was afraid the day will come "Soon, someone's gonna have to wipe my ass."
Do you have any situation that you are afraid of coming?
2. Morrie said "Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others." What thing can't you forgive yourself till now? What things haven't you forgiven others?
3. If you have 24 hours with perfect health, how would you spend it?

Re: 8/11(Tue.)Tuesdays with Morrie(Host:Tom)
It's the topic that sounds easy but actually hard to talk about, because most of us can say something about others (people, technology, society, politics, education, etc.) easily, but when it comes to ourselves, our inner thoughts, our lives and death, most of time it shuts us off. Not sure it's silence makes us uneasy or uneasiness makes us silent?
We can all grab different pieces from this movie, like, the meaning of our busy work schedule, the most important people in our lives, and what we regret the most or thing we could not let go, etc. For me, I realized that it is not “the void” we are afraid of, it is the process to go towards that. When the technology and medical science “save” people's lives (or to be more accurate, “delay death” or “prolong life”), it makes the statistics of type of death scary. Sudden death has become very rare, majority people will die in a long haul process of frailty in the acute care units. I don't know how we can better manage it in our own hands.

Euthanasia. Let's go to Netherlands.
Re: 8/11(Tue.)Tuesdays with Morrie(Host:Tom)
Right, I remember I have seen a documentary about a Chicago professor who was diagonsed with ALS and how he and his wife had planned the whole Euthanasia procedures in Switzerland. But the problem is if it is not terminal illness, I am not sure how Euthanasia can be applied?
Re: 8/11(Tue.)Tuesdays with Morrie(Host:Tom)
I cannot afford the airplane ticket. Gotta occupy some government office and force them to pass the law so we can do it in Taiwan.
Re: 8/11(Tue.)Tuesdays with Morrie(Host:Tom)
The "Oregon Death with Dignity Act" and the system the state of Oregon has set up shows one way assisted suicide (with a different legal definition from euthanasia) can be done. There are many things put in place to ensure that the "assistance" is not abused (meaning being done needlessly and wrongly). There are 4 countries (including Japan) and 5 states in the U.S. where assisted suicide is legal.
There's great information on ProCon.org:

ProCon.org is extremely useful for debates by outlining major pros and cons on a given issue.

I would love to be the advocate for this proposition in Taiwan as well!
(Ps. Actually, I don't know the differences between these legal terms: initiative, ballot, measure, proposition, etc. It may take some steps to become a ballot proposition?)
I think it is less controversial for terminally ill situation, but for normal aging process, when would be the good time to say "enough is enough"?
