She and her mother must be two of the world's most caring, most empathetic women.

This video should be an option for every college student, perhaps high school students. She taught about life and death until her last breath. What a tremendous gift to anyone who listens!

    This interview was a very naked look at a subject that is charged with emotion. I am deeply saddened that some people have chosen this as their personal forum for the rants that can be found all over the internet. I don't care what your political beliefs are, or your personal views/beliefs about a supreme being. This is not the place! This woman opened her heart and her innermost private thoughts to us and we should show some courtesy, compassion, and respect - or say nothing at all. Whether or not I agree with her choice to end her life on her terms, it IS HER life and HER decision. I believe I understand why she had chosen to end her life when she did, and I admire her clarity of thought and logical reasoning for doing so. I hope, dear lady, that you found the freedom and joy you once knew as a mortal being. I do believe in life after death and hope we will meet some day.
