• Brittany Maynard's Right to 'Death with Dignity': 29-Year-Old Suffers from Brain Tumor, Dialogue Opens Over Her Decision

    Brittany Maynard is a 29-year-old newlywed who loves to travel. She and husband Dan Diaz were actively trying to start a family when Maynard began having debilitating headaches. In January, she was diagnosed with brain cancer and surgery failed to shrink the tumor. In April, she was told she had Stage 4 Glioblastoma and that she had only about six months to live. After researching her condition thoroughly, Maynard and her family moved to Oregon so she could take advantage of the Death with Dignity Act, which will allow Maynard to end her life on her own terms.
