The 29 year old “Brittany Maynard” killed herself with
dignity and ended her life since she was diagnosed with “brain cancer”. Some people have condemned her decision while others
have cheered. Some people are saying that it pleaded with nature.
Maynard died on Saturday after
took lethal medication prescribed by a doctor. He died in her bedroom, in the
arms of her closet and surrounded by her family, Sean Crowley, a Compassion & Choices spokesman, said in a
statement today.
“Compassion & Choices” a non- profit organization said on its
facebook page that “We're sad to announce the passing of a dear and wonderful
woman, Brittany Maynard. She passed peacefully in her bed surrounded by close
family and loved ones".
Brittany was suffering from head
and neck pain for a long time and earlier this year, she moved with her husband
“Daniel Diaz” from San Francisco to
Oregon after she knew her diagnosis.
Brittany released an emotional
video for Compassion & Choices about her terminal illness and why she ended
her life. On You Tube, the video got
more than 9.3 million views; her fund’s website had visited more than 4 million
times.
In a post on her Facebook page
Saturday she thanked "all those who have without hesitation helped
me," and expressed her love for her family and close friends.
"Goodbye
to all my dear friends and family that I love," she wrote. "Today is
the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal
illness, this brain cancer that has taken so much from me... but would have
taken so much more."
