The Globe & Mail has a very extensive story on Kim Teske and her use of VSED to die on her own terms.
Teske had Huntington’s, an incurable genetic disease that combines aspects of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia. She feared that, if she did not act now, she will end her days in an institution with strangers pushing mush into her mouth and hosing her down after she defecates.
So, Teske stopped eating and drinking. Around noon on day 12 of her fast, Teske died peacefully, with none of the delirium or agitation that some watchers had anticipated.
