She stood her ground and did it her way. Kudos for her and prayers for the family. What a brave decision she made in the name of Death with Dignity.
Our quality of life should take precedence over everything else; our society usually does not adequately deal with the extreme pain of some cancers.. We tend to treat our pets more humanely than our terminally ill citizens. May she rest in peace.
I have already talked to my family about establishing residency (6 months in Oregon) in the event I reach this point. It should be choice of the person who is suffering and as such, family members will agree with this decision. No one has right to deny someone the right to die with dignity.
This girl was having unbearable pain and was unable to function without medical assistance.
We need to discuss death more in our society and options available when unable to function without medical intervention.
