She might have been trying to avoid that. Also, it would appear she comes from a close family, and she might have been thinking that a coma would only prolong THEIR agony.

Looks probable to me and could possibly explain her refusal of induced coma. Very sad statement on state-sanctioned cruelty in the US.

I wonder why she didn't accept the coma option? At least that shows that the medical professionals are not as heartless as they seemed to be portrayed. I will keep an eye out for her cause of death and post an update. However, I'm still inclined to think she overdosed herself on some form of drugs.... do it yourself euthanasia.

She died this week. Causes are still unknown. As far as I know (french news), she refused the coma.

And yet, we seem to not bat an eyelash at the prolonged and unnecessary torment of a human life.
