He must have faith, he wants someone to rot in hell.

Survival instinct is kicking in maybe.
Plus she did receive free donations to complete her bucket list. As I said earlier, maybe she just wants to spend it before she takes the blue death pill from Oregon. ( I couldn't tell you what color it really is but it sounds good. Need some other states to look in this sure thing death pill for executions).

Objectively speaking, it's certainly murder to intentionally take one's own life. That said, as to the state of her soul, I won't judge. I don't see that choice as something to admire, though. Weakness that one can sympathize with? Sure. But not admire.

None here.....compassion yes, admiration, no.
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other the person to die ......

You are a complete piece of [bleep] dogchit, You [bleep] i bet you've never had someone close to you die of cancer, I lost my dad in 06 after taking care of him for 18mos while he died of brain cancer, i garauntee you have no damn;d idea the hell that brain cancer causes for people that have it, i hope you rot in hell, or get shot by some illegal, get [bleep] you self righteous piece of chit
I'll take a guess and say your a Christian. Well im sure as hell not a muslim, but i dont attend any church regularly. I do however believe there is a god, and I dont believe that he wants any of his children to suffer in this way. You believe but do you have faith? If faith means im supposed to think that this girl should suffer through a painful death, then i guess no i dont have faith
I kill chit. "The Heathens nest"

The only issue I have with her is she didn't try, so as others have said, she is a quitter. Jim Kelly was given almost no chance last spring when his cancer returned. In September he was declared cancer free by his doctors. I'd like to think that I would fight until there was no more fight in me, not quit because the fight scared me. At the time of her diagnosis, Maynard was living in San Francisco with her husband, Dan Diaz, 43. Doctors prescribed full brain radiation. She looked at the side effects and alternative treatments. She even looked at hospice care.
�After months of research, my family and I reached a heartbreaking conclusion,� she wrote in an op-ed for CNN. �There is no treatment that would save my life, and the recommended treatments would have destroyed the time I had left.�

There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Being right most of the time can be a curse.

Not trying to pick a fight, just curious. For those who oppose her making her decision, do you also oppose pain meds? Wouldn't the pain be God's plan as well? Is it OK to medicate to unconsciousness but not death? Where exactly is that line? Should they just gut it up and refuse all medications? seriously? Taking an aspirin is not the same as blowing your brains out. Seriously? An aspirin is the equivalent to a morphine induced coma?

I'm not judging her heart; God will do that. It's very sad situation and I can empathize with her plight and even understand her decision if she is not a Christian which I expect she is not.
What unbelievers fail to grasp (and even many Christians), is that in the context of Biblical teaching, this life will be difficult; and that God allows these devastating trials and tribulations for our good, for our sanctification - refinement by fire so to speak.
I believe God allows special grace and peace to those who believe and trust in Him fully while in the deepest of valleys, particularly imminent death. How else can one explain second century saints singing hymns while being burned at the stake, or calmly being mauled to death by wild beasts in the Roman coliseums.
Lastly, taking ones life, God-given, purposely is suicide regardless of the semantics the law tags it with and the circumstances involved. Suicide is self-murder, Which I believe is morally wrong and a sin. Not an unforgivable sin but a sin nevertheless.
Furthermore, assuming she is an unbeliever, this life is all there is before an eternity of judgement. And she at her young age is intent on giving up days, or weeks (?) of her very short life wherein she might find the God who is ever ready to answer and grant her that peace, grace, and very much more.

I respect her privacy and right to a death of her choice as she looks down the barrel of a very cruel executioner.
Dying is a private matter in which the state should not be involved, when the patient is diagnosed terminal. I concur. Ditto. Lost my brother and father on this path. Respected their choices and that of the young lady referenced in the OP. There are no words to describe the suffering of that journey.
I am..........disturbed.
