Uh, not necessarily? Have you heard of my cousin Linda, who died of lung cancer? No? That's because she was just an ordinary woman nobody but her immediate family cared about.

I think their point is that if you're not famous, you don't necessarily have the OPTION of dying publicly because as you said, the public doesn't care.

[(Anonymous)]

The woman in the secret wasn't famous before she was diagnosed with cancer and made the decision to take control over the manner of her own death. Arguably, she went from being an average person to generating her own fame. Even as a total nobody, I'm not sure why that wouldn't be an option for me (just as a hypothetical example), given how easy it is today to reach millions of people.

Do you not know who that woman is? Pretty sure if she wasn't famous, her husband was. So your argument is shit.

[(Anonymous)]

This woman?

No mention of her husband's fame. But even if he's an international pop star (who curiously doesn't have his own Wikipedia page), Maynard's decisions alone were enough to seize a great deal of public attention because it touches upon a hot button issue.

Please consider that if you can't actually offer a decent counterargument, merely telling your opponent that their argument is shit is not the impenetrable wall of logic you seem to think it is.

NAYRT - I think the issue is confusion over who the person is, if that's Joey Feek, whose husband is famous, or Brttany Maynard.

[(Anonymous)]

It's Joey Feek, half of a country duo composed of her and husband. The secret is referencing the fact that her husband documented and blogged her decline after a terminal cancer diagnosis.

[(Anonymous)]

The picture is of Joey Feek. She was a country music star.

Not to change the subject but the whole infatuation with the "I don't know them so therefore I can't care about them" mentality really needs to die. Sad how the "public" thinks they don't need to, can't, or don't have to care, about what's happening in someone's life.

[ketita]

I agree. It's a sad thing. It's also like how nobody wants to report on "happy" news, because all people care about is pain and misery, and happy people don't sell or something.

Jacques Brel has a song where the lyrics go something like "Who cries the prettiest, who cries the most?" and it is all about double standards. Sadly, crying loud(-est) is a safe way of getting likes in the current social media and therefore more popular than ever. It has little to do with actual empathy though.
