She went through with it after all.
I disagree with the idea that she was attention whoring here. The ability to die on your own terms, in a relatively pain-free manner and surrounded by loved ones, is absolutely something worth fighting for and drawing attention to. One of my best friends died after a long battle with brain cancer, and trust me those last weeks aren't something I'd wish on anyone (or their families). She went out on her own terms, advancing a worthy cause. RIP
