Death with Dignity: Seattle woman decides to die on her own terms after cancer returns for 4th time

A three-time cancer survivor decided she wasn't going to fight it again. She ended her life by taking a medical cocktail prescribed by a physician.

[@ursula1231]

She’s so brave to not only make this decision but to carry it through despite her family’s feelings. RIP-😞

I don't understand y we let people linger in hosp, nursing homes, and assisted living, when their brain capacity is completely gone. It's big business, run by greedy corporations

Is this listed a suicide on her death certificate? Does this affect any life insurance policy she may have had?

[@k0smon]

Jef///// Most policies have a two year waiting period. Some do not cover it at all.

God bless this family

[@shellyortiz1977]

This is tough having a terminal illness is brutal the pain takes everything from you .one should decide to exit life there own way one without pain

[@ThatOne77]

I wonder how life insurance works in these cases.

Right ear enjoyed this one

[@beachbayareajr455]

some people give up while others keep fighting regardless of how long or how much. cmaron rice 17yrs on a stage 4 brain tumor never gave up

[@tabithadente7139]

She is NOT giving up; she's choosing not to suffer. If this other person chose to continue to suffer, then that was HER choice. Period.

[@tammyjohnson9428]

Do these poor people not get pain medication? So sad

[@HollieMoodie]

No. Since 2013, doctors no longer prescribe it. Not even for terminally ill people. Not even for people with cancer. Its horrible. I took care of two terminally ill family members. These doctors cover their own @$$ and just refuse everyone pain medication.

[@luminurse]

If they are on hospice, they will receive excellent pain management. Not all drs are even equipped to handle aggressive pain… most use hospice.🙏

What is/are the drug(s) used?

You good bruh

[@MarleyJ]

It couldn’t have been Nembutal as it took too long for her to go, having said that she was very peaceful 🙏🏻

This is good population control is ppl want to go let them go. We are all gonna die so don’t judge.

[@TruTalks-go4yo]

Did you know every second a person dies another person is born. That’s population control.

[@Jessicavargas-ig1zm]

As a Christian, I honestly struggle with Dr assisted suicide, even though I know most people that seek help in dying with dignity are terminally ill. From a biblical stand point, its still ending your life on YOUR own terms and not Gods, and that is part that would prevent me of ending my life prematurely, even if I was terminally ill.

[@Anubis424242]

So your god is against someone making the choice for themselves? Why? He must be sadistic.

[@GloriaRomero-yi7he]

That is a very bitter way to die in my opinion. You really don't want to leave, so you drink that awful bitter poison without the presence of any image of Jesuschrist, or an angel, or at list a priest for a last confession. Everybody holding the tears and pain around you; everything looks in sad harmony, but after the death, who knows what or who is waiting for you!!! Not for me!!!

[@MM-pj4bl]

She said God wants her to do it...I’m speechless. Repent of that. Suicide is a grave sin. “Thou shalt not kill..” I will pray for you and your family. Pain and suffering can be redemptive if we allow it.

[@mommyonamission7084]

You wouldn't say something like that if you had any idea. You're not God, so please don't pass judgement. I've seen people wither away into nothing in immense pain with Cancer. It's not Suicide if you have to get approval and meet certain qualifications. No I don't know them, but I understand.

[@snowwhite2709]

She was already given a death sentence,she just took control of when. Its not up to you to judge. You choose what you do with your life.

[@choctawwoman140]

@@mommyonamission7084 God does not want us to Judge!! How do you know her chosing to end her life is a sin?? Yes God says it's a sin to take your life but do you really believe in your heart that he wants his children to die tormenting deaths? I chose not to believe that he wants anyone to suffer in horrific pain or to suffocate. And if it is a sin in God's eyes then that's for her to deal with when she faces our Lord and Savior k but you should not JUDGE HER. Maybe in her heart she truly felt that God wanted her to do it. I mean you just don't know . I know if I have to be in horrific pain or if I knew I was going to suffocate I would certainly make that same decision. Why die in horrible pain or suffocate if you know you have a more pleasant and peaceful option. No one can really judge until they are face with her sam circumstances because you really couldn't know if you would or wouldn't want that option until your faced with having to make that decision. I personally think she was very brave and very selfless by making that choice. She didn't want her family to have to watch her suffer any longer . I fully support her decision as I would anyone who chose not to do that. It's all in your own feelings and your own choice. I'm so happy she had that choice to make so she no longer has to suffer in pain. God Bless her family and may she rest in peace now with no more pain to bare.🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@Outsider4JC]

death with dignity is not the end of suffering if you do not have Jesus in your life. You do not get to heaven being a good person, or doing good deeds. The bible says, unless you are born again, you cannot seen the kingdom of god. We are all sinners upon birth, and if we dont repent and trust in Jesus, we will go to hell. Research for yourself. it sounds harsh, but there is no other way than through Jesus. You are to put it in Gods hands, because you are not the owner of yourself, God is. And if you trust in Him, he will give you what it takes to get through. Its in his hands, not yours. But you must ask him into your life first, and he will give you eternal life. I only tell you this cuz I care, and so does Jesus.

[@HollieMoodie]

STFU and have respect. You want some asshat of a different religion preaching on your video of you dying of a terminal illness? No? Then don't do it.

[@user-ub3fw7wb2w]

So, if I die with dignity then I won't ascend to the mythological Disneyland called Heaven? One word: GOOD! If that means that I'd never have to be subject to arrogant, entitled and delusional people such as yourself that hold mythology and superstition as belief and fact, is a HUGE bonus to me. Christianity is based on superstition, oppression and use fear and intimidation as some ticket to salvation. Your "God" loves you for you are his son, and provides eternal salvation and loves to you. Unless.... you are willing to be his slave in this world, suffer for his name and grovel? And, if you make one mistake you're forsaken or tortured in the afterlife all because you didn't grovel and use your Bible to hate others? That's some Stockholm Syndrome with a side of cultism. Glad I'll never see you or your hateful cult on the other side if there is one.
