    • Former "right to die" campaigner starves herself to death.

    Nothing very much wrong with her.  Just did not like getting old.

    The Catechism of the Catholic Church sees the power of the keys that Jesus promised to Peter alone in Matthew 16:19 as signifying authority to govern the house of God, that is, the Church, an authority that Jesus after his resurrection confirmed for Peter by instructing him in John 21:15–17 to feed Christ's sheep. The power to bind and loose, conferred on all the apostles jointly and to Peter in particular (Matthew 16:19) is seen in the Catechism of the Catholic Church as authority to absolve sins, to pronounce judgments on doctrine and to make decisions on Church discipline.

    "I think it occurred to her after she started her course of action that it was something which could attract attention," Ms Davies said.

    "She sought publicity after her decision."


    Sounds like she didn't want to go quietly but wanted some fanfare surrounding her demise.  How sad.
