Terminally ill woman holds party before ending her life SAN DIEGO (AP) — In early July, Betsy Davis emailed her closest friends and relatives to invite them to a two-day party, telling them: “These circumstances are unlike any party you have attended before, requiring emotional stamina, centered- ness and openness.” And just one rule: No crying in front of her. The 41-year-old artist with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, held the gathering to say goodbye before becoming one of the irst Californians to take a lethal dose of drugs under the state’s new doctor-assisted suicide law for the terminally ill. “For me and everyone who was invited, it was very challenging to consider, but there was no question that we would be there for her,” said Niels Alpert, a cinematogra- pher from New York City. “The idea to go and spend a beautiful weekend that culminates in their suicide — that is not a normal thing, not a normal, everyday occur- rence. In the background of the lovely fun, smiles and laughter that we had that weekend was the knowledge of what was coming.” Davis worked out a detailed schedule for the gathering on the weekend of July 23-24, including the precise hour she planned to slip into a coma, and shared her plans with her guests in the invitation. More than 30 people came to the party at a home with a wraparound porch in the picturesque Southern California mountain town of Ojai, lying in from New York, Chicago and across California. One woman brought a cello. A man played a harmonica. There were cock- tails, pizza from her favorite local joint, and a screening in her room of one of her favorite movies, “The Dance of Reality,” based on the life of a Chilean ilm director. As the weekend drew to a close, her friends kissed her goodbye, gathered for a photo and left, and Davis was wheeled out to a canopy bed on a hillside, where she took a combination of morphine, pentobarbital and chloral hydrate prescribed by her doctor. Kelly Davis said she loved her sister’s idea for the gathering, which Betsy Davis referred to as a “rebirth.” “Obviously it was hard for me. It’s still hard for me,” said Davis, who wrote about it for M-F FM/AM DRIVE - IN RADIO SOUND 938-4327 Music FRIDAY, AUGUST 12 on the Dakota Brown Lawn and Luke Basile 6:00-9:00 pm H AMLEY S TEAK H ouse & S aloon COURT & MAIN, PENDLETON • 541.278.1100 The East Oregonian publishes paid obituaries.

But people got it. They understood how much she was suffering and that she was ine with her decision. They respected that. They knew she wanted it to be a joyous occasion.” Davis ended her life a little over a month after a Cali- fornia law giving the option to the terminally ill went into effect. Four other states allow doctor-assisted suicide, with Oregon the irst in 1997. Opponents of the law in lobbying against it before state legislators argued that hastening death was morally wrong, that it puts terminally ill patients at risk for coerced death by loved ones and could become a way out for people who are uninsured or fearful of high medical bills. Marilyn Golden of the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund, said her heart goes out to anyone dealing with a terminal illness, but “there are still millions of people in California threatened by the danger of this law.” Davis spent months planning her exit, feeling empowered after spending the last three years losing control of her body bit by bit. The painter and performance artist could no longer stand, brush her teeth or scratch an itch. Her caretakers had to translate her slurred speech for others. “Dear rebirth participants you’re all very brave for sending me off on my journey,” she wrote in her invitation. “There are no rules. Wear what you want, speak your mind, dance, hop, chant, sing, pray, but do not cry in front of me. OK, one rule.” During the party, old friends reconnected and Davis rolled in and out of the rooms in her electric wheelchair and onto the porch, talking with her guests. At one point, she invited friends to her room to try on the clothes she had picked out for them. They modeled the outits to laughter. Guests were also invited to take a “Betsy souvenir” — a painting, beauty product or other memento. Her sister had placed sticky notes on the items, explaining each one’s signiicance. Wearing a Japanese kimono she bought on a buck- et-list trip she took after being diagnosed in 2013, she looked out at her last sunset and took the drugs at 6:45 p.m. with her caretaker, her doctor, her massage therapist and her sister by her side. Four hours later, she died. 8/12-8/14 Cineplex Show Times $5 Classic Movie 8/17 12:00 PM FROM HERE TO ETERNITY Petes Dragon (PG) 3D: 2:20* 9:20 2D: 12:00* 4:40 7:00 Sausage Party (R) 12:10* 2:30* 4:50 7:30 9:50 Suicide Squad (PG13) 3D: 4:20 10:00 2D: 1:30* 7:10 Jason Bourne (PG13) 1:20* 4:10 6:50 9:30 ZOOTOPIA SECRET PG LIFE OF PETS (PG) STAR WARS: ICE AGE THE FORCE AWAKENS (PG) PG13 Always two two movies for the for price Always movies of one! the price of one!
