Why does it have to be this way?? Why does ending your own life have to be a dirty/secretive/messy deed??

It doesn't have to be, but that's how he CHOSE to end it. Many people with brain cancer die without jumping of a bridge (like my grandfather did) and have hospice care to provide pain medicine and needed services while they die amongst family. Some people do kill themselves with pills, razors, guns, etc. they don't necessarily suffer less than people prescribed pills by a physician who can get sick and vomit, back out and end up in the ER or have the same problems encountered with non-assisted suicide.
