Columnist Rejects Suicide after Discovering She Has Huntington’s Disease Gene

A columnist for the Guardian says she has decided to reject suicide after learning that she will suffer from an incurable neurological disease, calling self-euthanasia "a fantasy." "The case for carrying on can't be argued," writes Charlotte Raven in her most recent column. "Suicide is rhetoric. Life is life." Raven wrote the column following her discovery that she has the genes for Huntington's disease, which causes a progressive breakdown of brain function, usually beginning in middle age. Raven is 40 years old. LifeSiteNews
