I firmly believe that we all have the right to live and die in the manner we choose and that both the state and church needs to stay out of it

poor girl, may you rest in peace and it comforts me to know that you are not in pain anymore!

Super bad that people have to go through this.

@Smokie181 And thats called an opinion...we all have them -.-

"we are not god" exactly so who gives us permission to take a life whether granted or not...but on the other hand I hate to see people like this suffer and no people in this condition do not leave earth peacefully. It is a painful death and very very upsetting to watch a loved one die like this.

Very controversial subject. No human has the right to take another persons life period

Wow that was hard to watch. I have watched countless youtube videos over the years but as far as I can remember I have never been close to tears as I was during this video. I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like for her and I hope I will never have to know.

Hemp oil kills cancer. Look up 'Run From The Cure'. It' s the government and the pharma industry lobby that gets in the way of people having access to things that will cure cancer. This poor woman shouldn't have had to die.

@HerGlassBones94 It's very true, it's very awful. I can't understand the opposition, the outcome for her was certain, she was going to die pretty shortly, yet I'd like to see one of these religious types say to her, instead of drinking something and drifiting away peacefully you need to go down in agonizing pain because suicide is wrong... It's an important issue, I think it's hopeful, most people in Western countries think it should be legal, change should come over the next decade or so.

@dannymaclamp My God, really? :( :( Literally that just made me cry. I'm doing something for school on euthanasia cause I feel so strongly about it. So been watching videos and reading cases and it's so goddamn heartbreaking. I don't understand how people can allow it to be illegal...
