Sorry... I did look on that thread, but didn't see it on the last page, and thought this was significant enough to post seperately, especially since this will unlikely produce dozens of threads as with the Ebola topic. Seems with Ebola, there was something new to report every other hour for a while. I've given up looking for Ebola news in that thread as it's too cluttered and takes to long to find what I'm looking for.
I don't agree with taking your own life at all. That is called suicide. Why could not the doctors give her meds to reduce pain and let nature take over. It is not our choice to come in this world and it's not our choice to take ourselves out of this world.
I do understand why Brittany did what she did but if she was my family member I would have talked her out of it.

It isn't only pain, it's mind and body deterioration and there isn't enough meds to reduce the kind of pain that comes with this kind of thing that doctors in this country can legally prescribe.
Walk a mile in the shoes of someone with this condition and then see if you could be talked out it wanting to die. Nature would make this a very slow and painful death over a very long period of time. I know of someone who died of this same illness. It's more than horrible. If it ever happened to me, I would move back to Oregon and do exactly what Brittany did.
BTW, when I lived in Oregon I knew two people who did chose this method of ending their lives.

No matter how much you try and dress wants as philosophical, they're just your selfish demands of others.
We influence when we die. We do this every time we take antibiotics, or undergo surgery, or take our insulin, and so forth. That is most certainly not letting nature 'take over'.

Yep - because it's all about you. Others should suffer to please you.

IT is selfish to take it upon yourself and take your own life, not considering the effect of your love ones. for example Birittany decided to take her life after her husbands birthday. how do you think that will effect him every year on his birthday.
It's impossible to know how you'd react when faced with an unbearable decision. No one has the right to judge her choices. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. It seems cruel for healthy people to say that her decision was wrong because of their own personal beliefs. It was an impossible situation for her family, as well. No one wants to watch a loved one suffer horribly and no one wants to lose their loved ones.
