I imagine that she is already regretting her action.

I don’t know. I wonder if that tumor was affecting her judgment. Hard to say. Only God knows.

For who think without God, this seems a utilitarian thing to do, makes common sense.

BUT, it is against laws and violates Gods wisdom.
Each human life has value and suffering has value.

Collosians 1:24
Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church.

Man this is a tough story.

While I can’t agree with all of her ‘promotion’ of this act, there is a part of it that does make you think. I’ve watched several relatives get into positions where they were totally dependent on the outside world for EVERYTHING. And while I never caught any care giver mistreating any of them, when you leave you wonder.

And I remember always thinking as I drove away - THAT AIN’T GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME.

I really don’t know what I’d do if I had a condition that was going to take away my ability to be me - but I’m not going to be a vegetable.

I have had pain that made me think that if I knew it would’t end I’d rather be dead.

I’m not sure what I’d do if I knew that was all I was facing with no way out.

The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers.

Apparently the world isn't beautiful enough nor her friends close enough.

I suppose in reading many of the comments here and in other threads on this poor girl it would be more humane to have her suffer and enjoin her family to suffer watching it.

A disease is only incurable until someone figures out a cure, but if everyone gives up upon diagnoses then there is no incentive to ever find a cure.

A bear walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says “Sorry, we don’t serve bears here.” The bear growls at the bartender “I’m a bear! If I want a drink you will damn well give it to me! If you don’t, I’ll claw up your bar!”

The bartender refuses, and the bear digs his claws in and scratches up the surface of the bar. “Ok, what do you think of that? Are you going to give me my drink now?”, the bear shouts. “No, I’m sorry. Company policy. We don’t serve bears here.”

The bear gets really mad. “If you don’t give me a drink, I’ll eat this woman! Now give me my drink!” The bear points at a skanky looking woman at the end of the bar. The bartender refuses again, so the bear grabs the woman and eats her. “There! Are you going to give me my drink, or are you next?”, the bear growls.

The bartender replys, “Sorry, but we don’t serve drug users here.” “What? I’m a bear, not a drug user!”

“Oh yeah, that was a bar-bitch-you-ate.”

I can’t condemn her actions. I watched my brother die a slow agonizing death. He would never have done what this woman did but I’m not sure I wouldn’t do it. If I had the guts. So, let God be the judge.

It is sad that she didn’t mention God in her final words.
