Brittany Maynard was a 29 year old woman with terminal brain cancer. Brittany Maynard said to (CNN) -- "On New year's day, after months of suffering from debilitating headaches, I learned that I had a brain cancer.". Doctors told Brittany that she had six months to live. As all cancer patients, the road would not be easy.
Brittany Maynard decided to end her life on her own term, and to have a good death surrounded by her family in her room.
Brittany and her husband moved from California to Portland, Oregon, U.S. where doctor-assisted suicide is legal.
Brittany Maynard was an activist and advocate for legalizing doctor-assisted suicide, she wrote an article for CNN and taped herself on a video footage describing why she was going to end her own life and what she was feeling.
For certain period of time, Brittany was part of the news, getting the attention of people and directed them again to the big debate that was on long time ago.
November first, Brittany did what she promised to do, with the help of her best friend who is a specialist. She ended her life.
I respect Brittany's decision and what she did. She ended her life on her own way, every one has his own ways to deal with problems, and that's what she did.
It is so hard to judge or say if it was right or wrong, when no one know how bad she felt and what was going on with her.
Life is uncontrolled and what happens most of the time that a big uncontrolled problem shows up in our life, so we turn our face and deal with other things that we can control so that we can feel powerful again.
I think part of Brittany's decision depended on her own way of thinking resulting in deciding to die without all of the suffer.

And as she said, she didn't want to die in such a young age like this, felt like it is not her time yet, but she was already dying.
