29YO Wants To Die With Dignity

A 29-year-old is making national waves for her decision to spend her final days advocating for expanded access to physician-assisted suicide. Brittany Maynard, who recently moved to Portland to access Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act , is partnering with nonprofit Compassion & Choices to lobby other states to adopt similar legislation. Maynard was diagnosed with brain cancer on New Years Day, according to a video the nonprofit published on YouTube. (We’ve embedded the video below.) She had been married for just over a year. In April, doctors identified her tumor as grade four glioblastoma — a highly malignant, aggressive cancer — and gave her a prognosis of six months to live/Oregonian. More here.
