I wish we had that option for ourselves, too. Frankly, I think that ought to be everyone's option, given that they're of sound mind. IMO, it's just one more way in which religion intrudes upon our lives in a country in which we're suppose to be religion-neutral. Condolences on the loss of your brother. Strength and power to your friend - and to you, captain.
