T​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​he Case of Brittany Maynard: “My Right to Die” This case was an actual event. Brittany Maynard, aged 29 years, was married for 1 year when she was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer, discovered she had approximately 6 months to live, and did not want her family to watch her suffering with pain during her dying process. After a long discussion with her physicians, her husband, and other family members, she decided to move from California to Oregon to take advantage of the Death with Dignity Act. She opted for physician-assisted suicide (PAS), which is a procedure that would allow her to self-administer physician-prescribed barbiturate medications to facilitate her death. She chose to die on November 1, 2014. On her Facebook page, she left a message that day: Goodbye to my friends and family that I love. Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more. The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close frie​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​nds and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type. … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward. Source: Adapted from Maynard, B. (2014, November 2). My right to die with dignity at 29. Retrieved from https://www.cnn.com/2014/10/07/opinion/maynard-assisted-suicide-cancer-dignity/ (Links to an external site.) Before her death, Brittany Maynard made a public statement on the right of terminally ill people to end their suffering quickly by emphasizing that one could not determine when her suffering became intolerable, when her life became unlivable, and at what point her dignity was fading. However, some people criticized Brittany Maynard for her decision to use PAS: • One person commented that Brittany Maynard refused to embrace suffering in any meaningful way and, as a result, did not acknowledge human finitude and vulnerability. • A group characterized her decision to use PAS as cheapening human life. Review the content on PAS in the chapter. Then search the Web for current articles and opinions about this case. Wha​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​t is PAS?

Materially, Kamal’s strong support came from the Indian Muslims, who saw nationalist Turkey as the only independent Muslim nation.
