Lily Thai “passed away peacefully” after a long and difficult fight thanks to South Australia’s new voluntary assisted dying rules.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a hereditary disorder that was previously claimed to have affected Lily. People with EDS have extremely loose joints and their skin becomes brittle.

After the state passed voluntary assisted dying regulations in January, she approved the papers to terminate her life. The state will spend $18 million over the next five years to ensure safe access to the new euthanasia programme.

According to her relatives, Lily, 23, passed away within 10 seconds after receiving an intravenous dose of medicine on Wednesday (June 21) in Australia.

The funeral announcement in The Advertiser states that the young South Australian “passed away peacefully” at Laurel Hospice at the Flinders Medical Centre.

This message was left for their “much loved daughter,” Kate and Le. Granddaughter, niece, and cousin who is adored dearly.

A “treasured friend to many,” it went on to say. Although we have lost physical contact with you, you will never leave our thoughts.

Since she was 17 years old, the girl’s quality of life has been steadily declining due to auto-immune autonomic ganglionopathy (AAG), an incredibly uncommon disorder in which the body’s immune system destroys the nerve system.

 

She has been bedridden with discomfort for the last several years due to the ailment, which has affected her skin, blood vessel walls, and joints.

Her bad health was at first attributed to a spinal fluid leak, but despite therapy for the ailment, her condition did not improve, and her physicians were at a loss as to what to do next.

At the age of 21, she took an extreme step and flew to Sydney to see a surgeon who “specialised in spinal issues (for) patients with EDS.

” A nasal feeding tube was necessary at that point since she “couldn’t keep anything down” and weighed just 88 pounds while wearing a halo brace.

In her farewell interview with the magazine, Lily explained why she had decided to take her own life: “I’ll no longer have any pain, I’ll no longer suffer with any of these issues, and I’ll finally be free of all the suffering that I have endured for so many years.”

She told the publication, “I realised that I can’t have any more anaesthesia, so I (couldn’t) have any more feeding tube changes (or) surgeries,” and she went on to say that her father had to take care of her “even the most intimate things” because of the debilitating disorder.

Lily said she was not “well enough to leave the hospital” in the days leading up to her death, and therefore was unable to engage in any last rites or rituals.

It’s up to me to decide what’s best for me right now. The option to die quietly has been presented to me,” she reportedly told 7News.

A trip to the beach on Monday (June 19) with her friend Danika Pederzolli is a touching last experience she had. They sat on the beach and ate McDonald’s while listening to the waves.

Danika told the media source, “I’ll miss her greatly” when asked about her buddy Lily. Simply said, Lily is a stunning human being, and we count ourselves fortunate to have met her.

The young woman’s loved ones were naturally devastated by her choice. There was a long queue of people waiting to say their goodbyes to her at the hospital.

 

And they also planned a little burial service for her. The young heroine is hoping that by telling her experience.

She might assist The Hospital Research Foundation fund a paediatric palliative care unit. At this time, our hearts and minds are with Lily’s loved ones.
