美国29岁脑癌患者布列塔尼·梅纳德服药结束了自己的生命，她选择按照自己的意愿过完剩下的日子，“死亡权”倡导组织Compassion & Choices周日宣布。 在发现自己的治疗无法挽救自己的生命时，梅纳德和家人决定迁至俄勒冈州波特兰市，那里有《尊严死亡法》，允许身患绝症、剩下不到6个月生命但心智健全的成人遵医嘱自行用药结束自己的生命。 梅纳德是“死亡权”倡导者，她和Compassion & Choices密切合作，发起了“有尊严地死去”运动，呼吁美国“死亡权”合法化，希望更多地方立法，允许人们保有尊严离开人世。 梅纳德在一则视频中解释了自己的选择，900多万人次观看了这则视频，她的故事在社交网上也引发了广泛讨论。 Brittany Maynard, the 29-year-old who said she had terminal brain cancer, took medication to end her life under Oregon's "Death with Dignity Act," advocacy group Compassion & Choices said Sunday. "Brittany chose to make a well thought out and informed choice to Die With Dignity in the face of such a terrible, painful, and incurable illness," a post on her website said. "She moved to Oregon to pass away in a little yellow house she picked out in the beautiful city of Portland." In a statement, Compassion & Choices, an end-of-life choice advocacy group that has been working closely with Maynard, said she "died as she intended -- peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones." |
