I've been aware of this story for a couple weeks and I saw Brittany interviewed, her Mom & husband as well. It's a very sad story but uplifting in a bizarre way. It really means something to those in that kind of situation to have some control, to know they don't have to suffer. Right now I'd say I couldn't do it but I've never experienced excruciating pain either. I do know for sure that I'd never want anyone to have to care for my most basic needs and that's what it comes down to, pain and taking care of myself. If I'm in a place where that is my reality then I would probably welcome death.
