Maybe that was why she was an advocate?

She didn’t think someone should have to live through the struggles and hardships she did.

That isn’t why she was an advocate though. She literally didn’t view herself as somebody that would qualify for euthanasia lol she was completely hypocritical. She was the daughter of slave owning elites that were high ranking members of the confederate army, it’s not really that shocking she developed some controversial and tone deaf/hypocritical views.
