• Terminally Ill 'Death with Dignity' Advocate Brittany Maynard Ends Her Life

    Just a few short days ago it sounded like Brittany Maynard was going to choose to hang on a bit longer but in the end she decided to do exactly as she had originally planned, she ended her own life on Nov. 1. Maynard had quickly become the face and voice of the Death with Dignity Act which allows terminally ill patients to take medication to end their own lives legally in only five states. Maynard and her family moved to Oregon last summer in order for her to have choices in how she would spend her final days.
