Brittany Maynard ends her own life on Saturday. Maynard used Oregon’s death with dignity law to end her life after she’d been diagnosed with advance brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme).
She and her family moved to Oregon so she could die on her own terms since Oregon has a death with dignity law.
“Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more,” The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!”
Maynard posted on Facebook, according to People magazine.
