If I read that piece correctly ("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.") her death was a case of euthanasia/assisted suicide. Half a year ago she advised Brittany Maynard against such an end. I conclude that that woman subscribed to the moral school of "Do as I say, not as I do". Such hypocrisy isn't rare in Xians.
Let me assure you all, there is absolutely NO fucking dignity in death, none whatsoever.
The only thing that death does is reaffirm the utter absurdity of life.
Well, that and the nail-biting uncertainty of dead pooling, eh?
I love you Mary!!
