She's old enough and experienced enough in her illness to make her own choice. If there's absolutely no chance she's going to get better, she can decide it's the best thing for her.
I'm not surprised her parents support her decision either. I know from sitting with my Dad as he was dying. It is soul destroying watching a loved family member deteriorating and in severe pain, and them having absolutely nothing they can legally do about it, because Christians have decided for all of us that it's immoral to end life early to relieve suffering.
I get very angry when I see people opposing euthanasia and body agency to end life early now. It's so damn pointless and cruel.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
