Dignity is what you make of it
Brittany Maynard bought into the lie of far too many in our age: that hers would be a "sensible and admirable" death with dignity.
What, and my Mom didn't die with dignity? Just because she didn't choose to avoid the loss of her hair, the pain, the suffering, the crumbling of her insides?
Saying that Brittany Maynard chose to "die with dignity" insults every person who's ever fought to live through cancer or any illness, and lost that fight. It implies that my Mom was less than dignified in her death.
