If you ever find yourself walking a mile in my shoes, I hope that you would be at least be given the same choice.

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.

I feel lucky... I have tremendous support so I've never felt alone.

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

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.

I feel very fortunate to go surrounded by love. I'm proud of the life I lived.
