There is nothing interesting about it.
We would not know the state of her mind, except that she fully shared it with the entire World. She chose to make a spectacle of her desire to die by her own hand. She also wanted to bring as many people into her enterprise as she could. A doctor, her family, her boy friend, her community and all of us through the authority of civil law.
She could have just as easily turned on the gas and stuck her head in the oven, but that wouldn’t have made her point. Would it?
I agree with you. Her choice was much more than just relieving pain. She used it to solicit a political cause. As sympathetic as anyone may wish to be with her situation, I cannot see how they extend that sympathy to her cause. Once society makes that line subjective, we are in for all sorts of trouble.
In a fallen and evil world, where you draw the line in valuing human life is VERY important — it is more important than any one case.
We would never know the state of her mind you say. Would that be the one eaten away with cancer that was throwing her into seizures and partial paralysis the last few days? That mind?
