Ironic how a woman who Wants to die lives to 86.

And others, who are desperate for just one more day, die so much younger.

Obviously she considered herself as being “no longer any use to the herd”.

having the power to do something, DOES NOT constitute a God-given right.

Didn't God endow us with the ability of FREE CHOICE?

Sorry, but I have a more compassionate view of God and his choice of who He allows into heaven. I don't think He's going to deny passage into heaven simply because a terminally ill person has chosen to end their own life.

If He does then He's not an entity I wish to put my faith in...........

her life had become ‘intolerable’ after a series of fainting spells.

I once had thoughts of suicide when the batteries in my television remote were out and I didn't feel like going to the store.

However, if she couldn’t handle fainting spells, I doubt she could have handled that sort of pain.

Agree. Something isn't right about this story.

Ah, now it makes sense. She did get her assisted suicide after all hence the smile on the way out.

I think so. I found another article, and it details her timeline a little more.

The kids can’t stand the indoctrination

What the kids (inexperienced young people) can't stand is that they're ALWAYS "wrong" when they act like normal kids, and they garner additional punishment when they try to defend themselves.

They haven't learned the tricks and deceptions the leftist bullies use to manipulate and trick them, so they are at risk for depression.

According to her daughter she died peacefully and was ‘smiling at everyone’ the day before.

Liberals always give you that phony smile while they are saying or doing something outrageous or stupid. Glad the daughter has the good sense to realize the law doesn't need to be changed. Because the moment it is, there will be exploitative deaths to get at the inheritance early. Because "where there's a will, there's a relative."

I notice a lot of people are killing themselves ever since The One became POTUS, and I’m not kidding. For some reason the suicide rate seems to have skyrocketed.

That's because the left wing is all about unhappiness. They are miserable human beings, dissatisfied with life as it is, malcontent, determined to "change" everything to make the world more perfect according to them, unwilling to recognize that all humans are imperfect and life is a series of compromises in the midst of joy and sorrow. When leftists take office, they do so by building a coalition of misfits and persons whose discontents and covetousness can be exploited and amassed; and if they don't have 51%, they ramp up the victimology and false promises of redemption until they reach the tipping point.

Then, chaos ensues as they take over and start changing everything, especially the things that don't need changing or should never be changed. They take their half out of the center; and if the orange they want is on the bottom of the display pyramid, they take it anyway and let all the rest tumble and roll in the aisles and get bruised. Soon, waste and misery are everywhere. A few interest groups are happy for awhile; but most people start to feel there is nothing to look forward to except more misery, waste and loss. People with no God kill themselves.

As for the rest, when it gets bad enough, people finally elect a conservative government. The conservative reformers stay in office just long enough to clean about 30% of it up. Then they get thrown out of office in favor of the next pretty leftist face with a slate of empty promises. So it's always four steps forward, ten steps collapse, two steps forward, three steps back -- never forward long enough to get fully aright; and this is how we have lost our republic.
