YouTube: EZ Breezy Assisted Suicide w/ Bill Peace (and Tipsy Tullivan)

2010 was a horrible year for friend and NDY board member Bill Peace. Here’s a summary from a post back in 2012:

Back in 2010, our friend, colleague and ally Bill Peace, experienced a long, expensive health crisis when he experienced a stage IV skin breakdown – with a long treatment process that was physically and emotionally grueling by his own accounts.

While Bill was hospitalized – and at one of his lowest points healthwise – he was subjected to a late night visit by a hospitalist.  Laying out a grim set of possible outcomes for Bill’s health crisis, the doctor seemed to be urging Bill to just discontinue antibiotics and let himself be given palliative care to be pain-free until the infection took him.

Some years have passed, and just last month sat down and made a video with YouTuber Tipsy Tullivan – retelling the story and managing to laugh while he does:

Ms. Tullivan is also known as Jillian Weise. According to a short bio I found, she has a multitude of talents – poet, performance artist, disability rights activist, and an Associate Professor at Clemson University. You can find out more about her at her website, jillianweise.com/.
