David Goodall, a 104-year-old Australian scientist, has beG.un a journey to termiinate his life, saying he “greatly regrets” getting old.

“I greatly regret having reached that age,” Goodall told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on his birthday last month.
“I’m not happy. I want to die. It’s not sad particularly. What is sad is if one is prevented.
“I am 104 years old so I haven’t got much time left anyway.
“I might as well not have it (my health) getting worse and worse, making me unhappy as it goes.”
Goodall, a honorary research associate at Edith Cowan University, has made arrangements to travel to Basel, Switzerland, where an end of life clinic has approved his application for euthanasia.
“If one chooses to kill oneself, then that should be fair enough. I don’t think anyone else should interfere.”
An online petition raised $15,000 to help Goodall get to Europe.
He will visit family in France before proceeding to Switzerland, where voluntary euthanasia is legal, to end his life on May 10.

BE FRIENDS…

Friendship is so important especially in marriage. It is the core of a strong marriage. Don’t treat your spouse as just your husband or wife. Be friends; be best friends – it tightens your bond. It is the key to a healthy and fulfilling relationship. Where couples are not friends, where they don’t laugh with each other, where there is no freedom to be vulnerable, where there is no acceptance, they are most miserable !!!
