      PlutoTheGod ...She said she devoted her life to developing her mind. She has a Ph.d. That means she is a doctor within her field of study. She appears as being a lively person. Not just well educated but able to articulate her situation and clear desire to end her life while she is able to leave feeling fortunate and ready to pass. Dignity is all anyone can ask for at the end of life. I'm glad she was able to make the choice.

      no it's ashame , when someone is so trully dissapointed she/he doesn't really wants death to finish , but it's the frustration it talks when she says she prefer death ,she can't think straight at all , the people are supporting this I just wanna ask :''where's your heart ?'' really? where did it go?

      Mary Crystl Where's your heart? This lady is COMPLETELY with it, COMPLETELY in her right mind. She's tired of suffering and you think it's wrong of her to want a peaceful death before she gets worse, becomes even MORE dependent on people? She is not doing this because she is depressed and has given up on life! She is very sick, has suffered enough, has had a good life, fulfilled life and has made an educated decision about HER LIFE! She wants to go while she still has some dignity. I have been an RN 27 years and have witnessed some horrible deaths, my own mother being one. I understand why people want to do this and I can be compassionate towards them for making this choice and wish more people had this option. Wish it would have been available for my mom because she suffered horribly in the end. Absolutely ridiculous to say this dear woman is not in her right mind.........

      Child of God ..I'm sure somewhere someone cares. No one is ever alone. If they feel alone in real life, they can reach out to those who do care via this forum, or social media in general. I don't know you, but I hope that if you feel so alone, you share a little more/respond, so you can see that people.. even strangers, do care. There's lots of ppl out there that care even though they dont know someone personally. The human spirit can be extraordinarily awful, but on the flip side, very comforting and warm.. amazingly supportive and give you that extra oomph to combat tomorrow with some sass and support. X

    My father recently passed of stage 4 metastatic melanoma. He was in horrible pain. It hurt him to even touch him slightly. He had a tumor the size of a cantaloupe in his stomach that was extremely prominent due to him being all skin & bones near the end. He was absolutely miserable. No matter how much morphine he was administered or how much ativan to calm him, he would moan in pain for hours until he passed out. Then he would wake & moan for hours again. I wish medical assistance in dying was available to him, he didn’t deserve to die that horrible death, no one does.

      I'm so sorry for your loss and for the fact that your father went through that hell. I watched helplessly as my beloved mother suffered for a long time as she died of cancer. She's my soulmate and the whole experience messed me up very badly; this happened on Valentine's of 2013. You're correct, first and foremost, that no one deserves to die in such a horrific way, and secondly, their loved ones also shouldn't have to be witness to that torment.

She speaks what the vast majority of us wants.. choice & control of your life path.. whether short or long term. All around.. this is an educated woman speaking her heart, which promotes giving people choices about how they continue.. or choose not to. Having the choice is the key here.

      Just to clear this up Hospitals end our lives earlier now by starving the paitients and upping the morphine thank god...and they DO NOT TELL the families I know from personal experience here so no one has to worry ...they Starve you to death..no food water drips in your arems and overdose you on morphine. ..look out if you are in hospital and they put that velcro box on you VELCRO BOX = a Quick death..

      It's hard to tell age when someone is that sick - the overriding physical impression is of the sickness rather than of any particular age. I remember visiting a friend in the hospital a week before his death from cancer, and he looked decades older than he had a year before (he was only in his forties but he reminded me of an elderly man).

With what appear to be her full faculties intact, no overt sign of depression or lack of affect, and a mindful and proactive approach, she embodies the common sense that should guide those who advocate for the right to die with dignity for themselves as well as others. It would be hard to find a more crystalline display of a sensible approach to MAID.
