I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help, rather than suffer. – Terry Pratchett
There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married, amazing things like that. Ive been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day, a pagan ceremony. – Terry Pratchett
