Sad, but it’s assisted suicide is still suicide

It was sad that Brittany Maynard had a terminal illness, but I think it was sadder that she chose to have her life ended in the way it was.

By going public with her death wish and then following through on it, I believe Maynard wasted away whatever time she would have had left on this earth — all for a political cause. In my opinion, assisted suicide is suicide nonetheless. No ifs, ands or buts.
