Euthanasia Activist Starves Herself to Death to Promote Assisted Suicide

Life News ^ | 10/20/14 | Dr. Peter Saunders

Ironically her own daughter said in an interview that her case proves those who want to die already have power to take their own lives and that the law therefore does not need to be changed.

Exactly, and having the power to do something, DOES NOT constitute a God-given right.

According to her daughter she died peacefully and was ‘smiling at everyone’ the day before.

Sounds like she proved there is no need for doctor assisted suicide.

Problem seems to have solved itself?

In her case at least.

86? Sounds like she wanted OTHER people to go first.

What a sick thing to do to yourself.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

At least she practiced what she preached. I always tell advocates of “assisted suicide”, and those who just want to reduce the human population, to lead by example. She did that; and now I have to admit — lead any way you want; I’m still not following you.

Something for everyone in the wellness-crowd to look forward too. Being thin, having clear lungs and liver only increases the chance you’ll have an extended life of decrepitude.

At least she practiced what she preached.

Apparently she was a procrastinator...

[metmom]

Gotta give her credit for sticking to what she claimed she believed, which is far more than most liberals who want to kill everyone else.

And that’s the best thing I can say about the situation.

[NonValueAdded]

I guess she showed them!

[lee martell]

I’m sorry she had nothing she felt worth living for. For an atheist, that’s where close family and friends would have come in handy, helping her to focus on each moment, vs staring at a flat, sterile, lonely horizon, where there seems to be no place for you, no need for you. Think smaller.

FORMER “Activist”

Not as “active” as she used to be.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Yup. Pass the beer nuts, pour me another, and let me borrow your lighter.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I notice a lot of people are killing themselves ever since The One became POTUS, and I’m not kidding. For some reason the suicide rate seems to have skyrocketed.

[GreensKeeperWillie]

Mrs Davies became involved in the right-to-die campaign as far back as the 1970s and was president of the World Federation of Right to Die Societies from 1990 to 1992... This means she was in her 40s when she began her suicidal compulsion. What a flippin weirdo.

[defconw]

One less idiot. Maybe some others will follow her lead.
