On Saturday, November 1, surrounded by family and friends, Brittany Maynard took a dose of legally prescribed lethal drugs, ending her life of 29 years exactly as she had promised to do so in articles published by CNN and People Magazine some three weeks ago.
In January 2014, Brittany was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and given just six months to live.
But instead of spending those months desperately seeking medical ways to extend her life, Brittany embarked on a ‘bucket list’ quest with her parents and husband Daniel, and she checked off the final box on that list with a visit to the Grand Canyon in October.
Oregon’s ‘Death With Dignity’ organization hailed Maynard’s choice and said all people should have the right to end suffering if they chose to.
Some in the media or online, however, strongly disagreed with Brittany’s choice, saying humans have no right to end a life that was given to them.
Many others called Brittany’s decision “brave,” “honest,” “logical,” and even “inspiring.”
Brittany Maynard has now left the world but the debate continues.
Should humans have the right to end terminal suffering? Or do we simply not have the moral right to ever end our own life?
