  1. 1 /3) She was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer in January and months later was told she had six months to live, so for that, she move to Oregon to access Death dignity laws and with the "help"of some professionals doctor, she decided to drink fatal drugs.
    2) She was 29 year old when she was informed of this.
    5) Personally, i don't believe we should/ have to choose when to die - avoiding extreme situations like suicide- i am the person one who think that everyone has its "due date" and, until that day, and every day, you have to live not only as the last one, but also, as you feel yourself.

  2. 1) She died because she was suffering an aggressive brain cancer In January.

    2) She was 29 years old.
    3) Maynard moved to Oregon because she had to acess that state's Death With Dignity laws.

    4) If I would ver, I would try to live the rest of my remaining days with happiness. It must be hard for her parents to see her in that situation, the best she could do would be happy those days.
    5) I think she shouldn't choose to die. Because you have to live today as if it were the last.

  3. 1) Brittany died because she was suffering an agressive brain cancer and doctors told her that she only have six month of life, so she decide to committed suicide so she couldn't suffer.
    2) She was only 29 years old, very young and an beautiful life to live.
    3) The young lady move to Oregon because there it was legal to choose to died. It was called Dead with dignity laws.
    4) It's a really hard decision because if she lives until God decide is time, she would suffer a lot and i wouldn't like to live like that. On the other hand, as she decide to kill herself she didn't suffer anymore and her family would remember her with her body in a good term. I can't decide because it's too dificult.
    5) No, i think that life has a plan for us and when life decide you have made it, that's when you could die. Of course, they are extreme situations like peolple who suffer a lot and need to rest so they commit suicide, but it's not the escape of our problems

  4. 1) She died because she was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer, and only her remaining six months of life. So she decided to commit suicide when she wanted.
    2) She was 29.
    3) She moved to Oregon in the United States because it is one, along with Washington, Vermont, Montana and New Mexico, of the 5 states that allowed the death with dignity law.
    4) I really dont think that this law is required, if I was in her situation, its easy to say, hard to imagine, but I think that would expect my death by the time the doctors diagnosed me, doing everything and fighting against my disease.
    5) I think not, because life is glorious because of that, because you never know when your due date.

  5. 1) She decide to commit suicide because she was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer in January and months later was told she had six months to live.

    2) She was 29 years old when she died.

    3) She moved to Oregon because at this place she could access that state’s Death With Dignity laws, where doctors are allowed to prescribe fatal drugs to dying patients who want the ability to decide how to die.

    4) i think it's a very difficult decision and i think that if she made that decision this is because she was suffering a lot, i really understand her decision. At this time i dont know how to do if i were her.

    5) I think that we have to enjoy the life every moment, and the destiny will decide when we have to die, but not ourselves.

  6. 1) She died because she was diagnosed brain cancer and she decided to take control over how she dies by having access to life-ending drugs and ending on a suiced.
    2)She was twenty nine when she died, a very young life that had everything to live.
    3)Brittany moved to Oregon when the doctors gave her the bad news because there the doctors prescribe fatal drugs to patients who want the ability to decide when they want to die.
    4)It is very difficult, but if I were in her situation I wouldn't killed myself even though I know my illness,obviously it must be very hard to feel good and happy when you know what is inside you, but If were Brittany, I would tried to live that last months with the people I love and to get ready for that one day, die sleeping.
    5)In my opinion, I think that we don't choose when we have to die, god does and the destiny that for me is written. Everyone should live life as if It were the last day of life and enjoy every moment. The people that choose to die as Brittany did, are the ones that give up to fight to the evil moments that life give us, but even the evil moment were a illness, we never have to give up, everyone should fight for life.

  7. 1,3) Brittany Maynard was diagnosed with an aggressive brain cancer in January but doctors told her that she only had six months of life, which would be of much suffering. So she made the decision to move to Oregon, where it is legal for doctors will give a lethal drug to die. Brittany wanted to take control over his death and stop suffering.

    2) Brittany was 29 years old

    4) It's a tough decision, because when a person is diagnosed with a disease like this that is terminal and much suffering, the last months of his life are not good, the person is in a bad state too bad physically and suffers until the last day. It is true that all your family will like that person never let it go but also think the family always wants not to suffer your loved one, so I think it's a difficult situation in the decision that the person has to take, the need to do with your family because they also suffer much.

    5) No, I do not think we should choose when to die. We have to enjoy both life everyday to the fullest. Death is something that should not be planned, but it's true that there are times where people are suffering much from sickness and there is no turning back, there is no cure at this time if the person wants to die I think that is decision person, not whether right or wrong, I think it's something that you should choose the person at that time, no one can talk to if I do not pass it, we all need to put ourselves in the situation of the other with empathy.

  8. 1- She was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer and months later was told she had six months to live. So she decide to committed suicide drinking fatal drugs.

    2- Brittany was 29 years old

    3- She moves to Oregon, which allow doctors to give fatal drugs to dying patients who wants to die.

    4- First i think it's a very difficult decision, she had so much pain and she decided to end his life and I agree with what she did. But if it happens to me I would decide to spend my last moments doing what I love, being with friends with my family.

    5- Yes, in case like these, yes. I think everyone deserves to decide when to die and more if is a situation like this girl has to live. But I'm only agree if it is an extreme case.
