I cannot believe that anyone who watched Larry King Live that night would believe this. At times during the interview, she would have these long pauses in getting her next breath and I kept saying to myself, "Okay, breathe, breathe." I felt she might not make it through the interview, it was that obvious she was not going to last that much longer.

who cares if the poor woman orchestrated her own death. Tammy Faye was suffering, cancer is incredibly painful, often times unbearably so. she said herself that she was in a lot of pain. the better question is, who are we to judge her if she was in too much pain and suffering to continue on? one thing is for certain, Tammy Faye loved life, an her faith, and if she felt as though she couldnt continue anymore, it was because her suffering was just too great for her to overcome. we should stop making news of the recently deceased, and let Tammy rest in peace!

It is a myth that only agnostics and athiests believe in euthanasia. Many Christians believe that the God that they worship is a loving, charitable deity and
if they took their lives to escape further intolerable suffering He/She would not deny them the kingdom of heaven.(author, Final Exit)

If Tammy Faye ended her own life--especially to end her suffering--then more power to her! This is a right that should be guaranteed by the constitution.

If she did make the choice to die sooner I hope that her death was peaceful and that she had loved ones with her. It would have been a help to others if she had done it publicly and encouraged the legalization of assisted dying.

I dont understand how people can say some of the things they have said,faye was a christian and loved life i think that if she had another choice to end her suffering she would have taken it.Can you really blame her for not wanting to live in that agony for however long she would have.I think that we should remeber her passion and her faith not how she left us!
