• Terminally Ill Brittany Maynard Decides to Postpone Originally Planned Nov. 1 Death with Dignity Date, Continues to Advocate for the Cause [WATCH]

    In the last month, Brittany Maynard's story has garnered international attention as it naturally has caused people to weigh in. On Jan. 1 of this year Maynard was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer which causes a debilitating and often slow death. While Maynard was originally given only 6 months to live she has made it longer and still is able to find joy and laughter in each day in spite of suffering through extreme pain and daily seizures that cause her not even remember her husband's name. Earlier this month Maynard went public with her story in an attempt to raise awareness for "death with dignity" and at that point she had marked Nov. 1 as the date when she would willingly take prescribed medication to peacefully end her life surrounded by loved ones. Now, according to a new video posted to her site, it seems that Maynard has changed her mind- at least for now.
