In January 2014, after years of suffering from severe headaches, Brittany Maynard from California found out she had terminal brain cancer. At the age of 29, she was diagnosed with the most aggressive and lethal form of the brain cancer disease Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). She was given a prognosis of six months left to live.

After receiving the news, she and her husband chose to move to Oregon, one of the 5 states in the U.S. that allow you to access Death with Dignity law, a doctor-assisted suicide, so that she could choose her own passing and die with peacefully and painlessly.

On the other hand, We let our animals who are in pain and suffering die peacefully, why do we not afford the same right to a human being?
