The reason to consider life and what's of value is to make sure you're not missing out. Seize the day. What's important to you? What do you care about? What matters? Pursue that. Forget the rest.

To have control of my own mind... to go with dignity is less terryfying. When I look at both options I have to die, I feel this is far more humane.

There is a difference between a person who is dying and a person who is suicidal. I do not want to die. I am dying.

I believe this choice is ethical, and what makes it ethical is it is a choice.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.

Right when I was I was diagnosed my husband and I were actively trying for a family, which is heartbreaking for us both.

We all just realized that I am terminally ill and I'm dying and I would just prefer to die with less pain and less suffering.
