And here’s the thing: If she kills herself on November 1, they will barely remember who she was on November 3.

I agree with Smith that this is a tragic situation, but there are alternatives and the media pushing her to do this certainly doesn't help.

Here is another article about Brittany Maynard.

She should definitely be forced to suffer and live her last few weeks as a helpless vegetable!

so many cancer patients fight hard for their lives...they undergo the chemo, the radiation, the blood transfusions, the repeated hospitalization all in a grand effort to keep hold of life...

sometimes they win....sometimes they don't but in either case THEY FOUGHT hard....

I have a cousin in law who has had ALS for about 8 yrs now....she has no intention of giving up....she keeps investigating new theories and stays engaged......

what if everyone just killed themselves at any problem, large or small?

Degenerate sons and daughters, it takes life to love life.....

Assisted suicide is one thing..

Euthanasia is another. The big money is in euthanasia, and that is what they really want.

Stories like this are used to advance the ball.

If we start humanely killing people when they become seriously ill instead of trying to cure them, insurers are going to make Trillions of Dollars. That kind of money will not be denied, especially when the biggest insurer is the Federal Government.

Life is cheap to those on the Left. Just look at all the gang murders that are ignored. I will not judge this woman as I am not in her shoes. But the hay that Leftists make out of cases that support their ‘death with dignity’ makes me sick. There is no dignity for those who died in Kevorkian’s van. Applauding someone who has just taken poison to end their life is repugnant and appalling.

<><><><

Inoperable brain cancer. 6 months to live.

Can you share your thoughts on what those specific alternatives might be?

The notion that she is somehow a dupe to the media I don’t understand or agree with at all. Everything I’ve read about her and that she has herself stated demonstrates one who is quite on top of things.

She is NOT Terry Schiavo. She is a very articulate and intelligent individual in a God-awful situation, not of her making or choosing (the brain cancer).

I have a 29 year old daughter. As a parent, the idea of one of my kids in this situation makes me nauseous. Just thinking about it.
