You probably remember the case of Brittany Maynard; it was much in the news in the latter half of 2014. Diagnosed with a massive brain tumour at age 29, Brittany chose to move from her home in California to Oregon so that she could take drugs to end her life at a time of her choosing using that state's Death with Dignity Act. She and her family appeared in documentaries and national news media and gave official testimony to raise awareness about the cause of assisted dying for the terminally ill. A film about her story is also in the works.

Further reading suggestion: On the theme of living life to the full while dying of cancer, we highly recommend [[A Tour of Bones: Facing Fear and Looking for Life by Denise Inge]]. For a fictional exploration of the issue, try [[Right to Die by Hazel McHaffie]].
