Sad for her, but I respect her choice.

Sad, but if you've ever watched someone you know die slowly, then you totally understand. Every state should have these rights, at least in the case terminal illness and I'd even expand it to older people who are just ready. My grandma fell and broke her hip and was basically bed-ridden in a nursing home for 6 months. By the end she just refused to eat because she was 95 and ready to go. She was basically forced to kill herself by starvation which is not uncommon.CalvinBall wrote:How does everyone feel about this gal who had cancer and committed suicide?

Yeah, no reason that the basketball girl can't choose to do the same exact thing now.Bucky wrote:they're at different points of their illnesses.

Maynard was diagnosed with brain cancer, and in April doctors told her she had six months to live. As her pain got worse and her seizures grew more frequent, Maynard and her family decided to move from California to Oregon, where state law allows terminally ill patients of sound mind to seek medical help to end their life. California has no such law.CalvinBall wrote:Bucky wrote:they're at different points of their illnesses.
