Endnotes to Part 13: The Death of a Child
34. In Oregon, a man who availed himself of the State’s assisted suicide law followed the law’s directions, and after consuming a large lethal dose of medications, laid down to die. Instead, he went into a three-day coma, and awoke to ask his wife: why aren’t I dead? He stated to his wife that he had seen God, and that God told him “This is not the way into Heaven”. He obtained his wife’s promise that she would communicate this message for him to as many as would hear. She remained committed to euthanasia, but in respect for her husband, she announced his message. The man died two weeks later by unassisted death.
