    In the articles “Brittany Maynard, as promised, ends her life at 29” and “Brittany Maynard explains reasons for ending her life in her own words”, Brittany Maynard decides to end her own life during the end stages of her terminal brain cancer.

Finally, after critically assessing both approaches, I will show how I determined the permissibility of Maynard’s decision in taking her own life.…
