I love how Bible-thumpers cherish personal freedom right up to the point where you disagree with the choices of others. In that regard you are like libtards.

No, freekitty is nothing like you libtards. She doesn't try to shut Christians up by calling them names. She doesn't promote the concept of Lebensunwertes Leben. She doesn't deny God, or encourage others to defy Him. I've never known her to advocate any of your libtard platform.

So is it a sin which is unpardonable? Must a lifelong Christian who decides to take her own life spend eternity out of the presence of her Savior?

Why don’t you take your “Bible-thumpers” comment somewhere else.

I didn’t know Bible believing Christians were allowed to be attacked on FR?

Nah. I'd wanna see to the end of the video every time. Does the little warren of bunnies make it through the winter? Does the pack of leopards get that wildebeast or do they miss it?

You did a nice job of answering your own question.

You simply have to accept the answer you gave, even though it’s hard to.

I think you should request physician-assisted suicide as soon as possible.

I’ll accept your answer to the question.

Truth doesn’t always have to be hard to accept, and you may have the truth.

That’s above my pay grade. All I know is that her last act on earth was to commit murder. That can never be good, or “right.”

At this point what we think of her fate matters not at all, though. She is the hands of God.

But what does matter is those who remain. The “right to die” lie strikes at the very heart of the very basis of the American claim to liberty and self-governance.

She had to spend her last days in another state, because her home state would not allow her to take her own life.

That's simply not true, although it's what the pro-suicide activists would have you believe. No pro-suicide law has ever been necessary - especially not these days. In any state, if you're terminally ill and the end is near, you can opt for hospice care, under which you stop treatment as well as nourishment. You're given large amounts of narcotics for pain management while loved ones drift in and out of your room, saying their goodbyes. She could've opted for hospice at home.

But, for some reason, the pro-suicide activists want to force doctors to give you pills to take at home on your own, even though sometimes the pills don't even work.

Folks who think Liberty entails a right to do anything they want, up to and including murder, have no idea what Liberty is.

I always find it interesting when someone who rejects God tries to explain what His followers believe. You’re so far off the mark.

Just heartbreaking for her & her family. Prayers to all.

Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Yes, but she was wanted to take a few souls with her. She was wanted to contribute to the corruption of our medical system, and to encourage others to kill themselves and each other.

I would not want to go to a hospice. I would not want feh hospice taking people in and out of my room.

There are drugs that do the job. Don’t settle for a government doctor in a hospice, get your own doctor, do it at home if you wish.

But do not say it is not illegal. It IS illegal!

Another thing that is disturbing with this case is people holding her up as a hero, or doing a courageous act.

I have witnessed people dying of cancer who fought to the bitter end. They were courageous! They showed true heroism in their battle with the disease.

This is the brain cancer story that should be getting attention.
