⚠️ In Australia, a 26-year-old woman who hasn't eaten real food in over 10 YEARS has taken the decision to legally end her life.
Before she goes, Annie Holland is ticking off her "f**k it list"
This includes wearing a wedding dress for photos with her dad, holding a newborn baby and a helicopter ride.
She says she's regaining control of a life that stole so much from her 💔
Annie suffers with a rare incurable disease that completely paralyzes her stomach & intestines making normal digestion impossible.
She's survived solely on IV nutrition drips since her teens, endured 25+ bouts of life-threatening sepsis, constant agony, dozens of daily injections, and multi-organ complications.
After years of hospitals and suffering, she was approved for voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in South Australia.
Awkward Taiwan:
In probably one of the more surreal commencement speeches of all time, graduates at Taiwan’s Shih Hsin University #世新大學 were told to “End yourselves quickly” if they couldn’t keep their lives in order after they entered the work place.
This rather drastic admonition was made by Shih Shin University president Chen Ching-ho 世新大學校長陳清河 during his commencement address to the school’s Master’s and PhD degree graduates.
He then went on to tell them that if they could not manage their lives they should exit from the world because the world wouldn’t need people like them.
The ensuing uproar has led to calls for Dr Chen to resign. Yesterday he apologized for “had not been sufficiently careful in my remarks” and announced he would take a two month unpaid leave.
