Terminally ill 29-year-old to end her life
Dolly Parton, who rose from humble beginnings to the greatest heights of American music and became one of the country’s most philanthropic, unifying and beloved stars, died Tuesday in Nashville, according to a family statement. She was 80. The statement, attributed to her nephew Bryan Seaver, said Parton died “peacefully.” A small, private service will be held for her close family, the statement added.
In a career that spanned over half a century, Parton captured the American experience, penning more than 3,000 songs. Those included “Coat of Many Colors,” a quiet ode to her mother, who stitched together garments in the family’s rural Tennessee home. She wrote and performed songs of love and heartbreak, like “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” “9 to 5,” the title track from the movie of the same name, in which Parton also starred, became an anthem for American women and workers.
Later in life, she funneled her massive success into philanthropy, founding a library program that has gifted more than 300 million books to children around the world.

I would do the same because I do not want to suffer. I believe we should have the right to choose when to die. It should my be choice. If you are prolonging my life so that I can suffer longer, no thanks. We need more compassionate laws.

I still think of you, beautiful Brittany.
I think of her mom, and Dan. I'm sure the holidays are very hard on them. You were such a force to be reckoned with Brittany. Thank you for being such a strong voice for compassionate choices, and death with dignity.
No human, no living being deserves to unwillingly suffer in their last days.

She made a stupid decision. She should have gone to a naturopathic doctor. This is why I do not trust chemo and radiation because it does not get rid of cancer or other diseases. It is better to consume healthy products like 90 essential nutrients to get rid of these health issues.

I’m in my last days of life and I know it. It’s funny to me as the things I was concerned about such as money, social standing and the future no longer matter at all. Goodbye

CNN didn’t know how to handle this, they were just selling advertisements. The “debate” is simple.

It's not true that every death from a specific disease is the same and filled with suffering. Each experience is individual. Additionally, there are many medications to keep our patients comfortable without prolonging the inevitable death. This is sad.

I’m sure is beyond scary to get such diagnosis, but I still would chose the day my creator wants me to check out of this world. I don’t get to decide when… but I understand how people that doesn’t believe in what I do could go this route.

Suicide is all that is and it is against God, hope she wasn't expecting to go to heaven making that choice.. It doesn't work that way..

I can totally relate to the lady now who wished for a ‘Fairytale’. When my dad first was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer I really thought the doctors were looking at someone else’s CT scan, even after he was diagnosed with two different hospitals. I think both the patient and family were brave to make this decision.
