I’ve watched many of my family, including both parents and one set of grandparents, die of cancer. Have you ever seen it? There are no words to describe the horror and indignity and suffering of the tertiary stages of terminal cancer. You won’t understand unless you’ve seen it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what this brave lady did - nothing. She went on her own terms, bravely and with dignity. She saved herself, and her family, a great deal of suffering and bad memories and horror that they all could do without. I suppose you believe everything comes from an all-loving God, right? Does that include cancer and unspeakable suffering? You are absolutely wrong that life is always worth living - it certainly isn’t during end-stage cancer.

Yes, many times including watching a grandparent die of pancreatic cancer last year.

Dignity is who a person is, not how they look as they are dying. Did Christ have dignity as He was on the Cross covered in blood and being taunted?

Precisely, she determined that she would play god.

I'm confused, do you deny the existence of God or His love for us?
