My guess is that the death mongers have been manipulating her the entire time and will continue to drag her through hell to advance their agenda.

[bgill]

Ha! I knew it.

I would like to see more humane means of exiting early rather than the current strategy of starving and dehydrating people to death. My wife’s grandmother recently passed that way after a stroke and living will kicked in. We’d be jailed for treating an animal that way yet we do it to our elderly.

At some point in a terminal illness with nothing to look forward to but pain and agony, not sure I would care to hang on but that is up to each individual I guess. Westerners are unique in this desire for loved ones to cling to the bitter end and I’m not sure that is all that healthy an attitude.

Poor woman. I hope that she continues to choose life.

[Christie at the beach]

So sad and for anyone going through this. I am praying for her.

[Politicalkiddo]

It’ll never be “the right time”.

[JimRed]

The many prayers for her may have been answered.

There is no way to die with dignity. With heroism, yes. With fortitude, yes. With acceptance of God's will, yes. But death is the ultimate indignity. Trying to "die with dignity" is a loser.

Don't kill yourself.

But, if you decide to kill yourself, you don't need to tell the media. You don't need government approval.

You need a cliff. Or a running car in an enclosed space. Or a pile of sleeping pills and a warm bath. Of hire a Kennedy as a driver. Or load your gun.

Your decision is between you and God, or the lack of a God if that is your belief.

There is no role for the government in your decision, why invite them in?

->>>Montana, Washington , and Vermont, that allow assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act passed in 1997 and has resulted in 1,173 prescriptions, with 752 deaths resulting from access of the medication.

In my opinion, anytime a state becomes involved in helping a person to kill themselves, the state is assisting in murder. Don’t go yelling anyone, in saying it’s her right to do (on her own, yes) but once a government agency becomes involved; it’s something different. I am not going to judge this woman whatsoever.

[GeronL]

If you want to kill yourself, fine, but trying to corrupt the whole healthcare system into a deathcare system is plain 100% wrong.

Proverbs 8:34-36: “Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.”

Read the last phrase again.

“...all they that hate me love death.”

It is one thing to accept death. It may be even be the right and brave thing to do under certain circumstances. Think of the oaths taken by soldiers. Also, there are things worse than death, and Christian martyrs for thousands of years have accepted death rather than renouncing God.

To love death is something entirely different.
