Jeanette's Story

In 2000, when Oregon resident, Jeanette Hall, had less than a year to live, she asked her cancer doctor for the pills to commit suicide. Dr. Kenneth Stevens got to know her better and inspired her to consider treatment. The tumor just “melted away” and now -- 15 years later -- Jeanette says: “It’s great to be alive!” The video ends with a beautiful, life affirming message by her doctor: "I took the ancient oath to do no harm. I will always care for my patients and never abandon them. For me, helping them commit suicide would be the ultimate abandonment."
