She couldn't eat, tubes and stuff every day.

She was to go for a check-up and her friend asked what she hoped for from the physician.

"I want to go, fast."

If she had the opportunity, she would have chosen assisted suicide. Unfortunately, Jesus and the New Jersey legislature wouldn't allow that. So she suffered for three weeks until the end.

My response is, .... Jesus and fuck the feckless New Jersey legislature.
