Nice.

Interesting the difference in how Lauren Hill and Brittany Maynard approach end of life.

Actually, I think both chose very powerful, dignified, and very inspiring ways to handle their situations. Both Lauren and Brittany lived the remainders of their time following their passions and beliefs; both used their situations to raise awareness around important issues.

I have enormous admiration for both strong, courageous women.

Their approaches are identical. They are both choosing to go out as the captain of their ship.

Yet completely opposite.

I hope Wheaties / General Mills donates a boatload of $$$'s to http://www.thecurestartsnow.org/

I hope people buy a boatload of Lauren Hill Wheaties. Off to the supermarket, everybody!

I hate to say it, but Wheaties is one of the most unappetizing cereals i've ever had. Like eating mushy cardboard...

I read that she is going to speak during halftime at the Cincinnati WBB game.

Right about now, anything that puts a smile on the face of that young woman is 2 thumbs up in my book.

One of my favorites. I do add fruit to it though.

I don't think this is intended to be a consumer item. They sent her a "One-off" box to honor her.

Excerpt from the link - " As far as she knows, it's just a one box thing."

There is that, but the boxes are very framable!

Too bad. Maybe it's just "as far as she knows," and then her mom will go to the supermarket and see a shelf full of them. Hope so.

Exactly what differences do you see?

To me I see two people striving to do the best they can in the time left to them. Your question seems to implicitly suggest that Maynard's choice is one you don't agree with. If so, why don't you just come out & say it?

Pretty easy to see. One living the life she has left to the fullest, the other, checking out.

No, I don't necessarily disagree with either one. It's just a striking difference. Not sure what I'd do if I was in that situation.

It gets too soggy too quick. But if I see a box with Lauren's picture on it I'll buy it for sure!

Great idea but I'm disappointed in the result above. Looks like a 2 minute job by someone at General Mills. I don't think it captures the bright light that she has shown herself to be. They could have done a better job.

The Lauren Hill story has captured my heart from the first day I heard about her fight against this horrible disease. I think the fact that she can face this head on and still have the desire to accomplish her goals and dreams is so inspiring to me.

My wife died from a brain tumor. It was incredibly painful and horrific for months. Death was a welcome event. One night the pain meds wore off and I was able to talk to her one last time. At that moment it seemed like a gift to me. Then the pain increased and she was screaming. Unfortunately it took a while for the morphine to kick in. I still feel guilty about that moment, that I was so selfish for me. You might benefit from walking in someone's shoes before passing judgement. Have a good nights sleep.
