I don’t care how she wrapped this package up; she committed suicide.
Most of us are fortunate enough not to have to make that decision. I’ll leave the stone on the ground.
A friend died of this in January, I last saw him three days before, in a coma with tubes running everywhere. This woman took the easier path and it’s her decision, can’t blame her at all.
Sad. RIP.
I am very fortunate that I have a family that would love me, encourage me and help me to fight to the end. To bad no one wrapped their arms around Ms. Maynard and told her they loved her too much to let her go and would fight with her until the end.
I wonder if Ms. Maynard had anyone in her life who was willing to do that for her?
I have watched 2 close family members die of a horrible disease so I know that which I speak of.
Faith sustained us through those terrible times.
Suicide has always been an option. I wonder if Ms. Maynard would have done it by herself?
I do pray for her. I don’t have all the answers.
You should read the Right to Life response to this. Death with dignity isn’t the peaceful transition that proponents claim.
Her final statement contained no mention of God. She killed herself, as planned, so she clearly knew what she was doing and she seemed to believe she had no soul or that her soul would be annihilated when she died. If you think she’s correct in believing such, there’s no convincing you that she was morally wrong to have killed herself. However, those who do believe in God and happen to believe she had a “right” to kill herself, please tell me what significance you attach to her not mentioning God in her final statement?
I’m sorry she was sick.
But she murdered herself. That’s the cold hard fact.
She took God’s final prerogative unto herself.
She mistakenly believed that her life was her own, when in fact it belonged to the One Who created her.
The cavalier and even approving attitude towards this way of looking at life and the world here tonight is shocking, frankly.
The abandonment of the cornerstone principle of this free republic, that our rights, starting with the right to life, come from God, and that those rights are UNALIENABLE, ie that they cannot be rightfully taken OR GIVEN AWAY, is a dangerous, destructive path to go down.
I would want to die on my own terms.
I don’t want my life extended if it means I can’t enjoy what time I have left.
The quality of one’s life is far more important than the length of one’s life.
May the Lord have mercy upon you. Rest in peace, Brittany.
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.

Killing yourself is not ‘spreading good energy’.
This country is screwed if a supposedly conservative website has so many assisted suicide law advocates on it.
She was young and good looking so she got a lot of coverage. Plus that she just got married prior to the cancer diagnosis.
If some beer drinking slob with terminal cancer proclaims he is going to kill himself there will be little fuss.
The Left will now enshrine here as the patron saint of suicide.
And somewhere, Ezekiel Emmanuel cheers.
