Quite an amazing story; sad but very inspirational:

Living while dying: 'Little Buddha' wisdom from a terminally ill 'goofball'

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/05/health/claire-wineland-cystic-fibrosis-eprise/index.html

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Sadly, secobarbital seems impossible to get anymore, even with a prescription.
