I just read this lovely young woman took her life today. Her timing for her death was her own and her choice when to end her life was her own.
Brittany was a wonderful spokesperson for the Death with Dignity movement. Hopefully, our leaders will consider her legacy.

We do it for animals and we call it "humane". Can we not extend the same care and compassion to our own species?

I feel the same. I support assisted suicide, and would want access to it if needed for myself or loved ones. |

I feel the same way. Even if I don't take the medication, it would give me more peace of mind knowing that I am in control. |

So you believe that a person should be kept alive indefinitely?
I support assisted suicide. And in this specific case, I believe that this young woman is well within her rights to make this decision for herself.

I find it interesting how you on the left seem to cherish death. Though why should i be surprised you've snuffed out 56 million children the past 41 years. |

As I am not burdened by religious nonsense I such a tragedy I hope I will have the courage to die on my own terms. Controlling my own fate is the ultimate expression of freedom.

Who are we to know how much pain is bearable for another person? I think it is incredibly arrogant to think we can make that decision for someone else. I also think it is cruel to make a person live on because we decided they should be able to bear their pain.

Even more interesting is the fact you on the right don't even understand the meaning of 'children'.
Or is it just your choice of word for the most hyperbolic lie you can think of? |
