The World Federation
of Right to Die Societies has designated November 2 as World Right to Die Day.
The date is already crowded with significant commemorations. Catholics and
Anglicans celebrate the second day of November as the Feast of All Souls, when prayers
are said for all departed souls.
In Mexico, Catholic
doctrines embellished with indigenous beliefs have given rise to the Día de
Muertos, a festival of death celebrated with great gusto. In the United States
there has been an effort to nominate it as National Plan Your Epitaph Day. And
the United Nations has designated it as the rather mysterious International Day
to End Impunity.
