Ahead of our Oct. 23, 2014 show on the aid-in-dying movement, and Brittany Maynard’s choice to end her own life, Maynard wrote into the show to talk about her decision.
A portion of her comments appear below.
The day is my choice. I have the right to change my mind at any time, the patient right that is critical to understanding Death with Dignity. The claim of exploitation is utterly false, considering I had gone through the entire process of moving, physician approval for Death With Dignity, and filled my prescription before I ever even spoke to anyone at Compassion and Choices about volunteering and decided to share my story.
I support the organization because I support the cause. I believe this is a healthcare right and choice that should be available to all terminally ill Americans.
