"Connecticut Woman with Terminal Cancer Fulfills Dying Wish in Vermont"

Lynda Bluestein, a Connecticut woman with terminal cancer, fulfilled her dying wish by utilizing Vermont's law that allows terminally ill individuals to end their lives with prescribed medication. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family, after years of advocating for expanded access to such laws. Her death followed a legal change in Vermont that removed the residency requirement for medically assisted suicide, a topic that remains controversial due to moral opposition and concerns about patient coercion.
