14-Year Old’s Request to Die Goes Viral

The teen’s brother died from cystic fibrosis when he was 6 years-old, and now the 14-year-old has the same inherited disease and was told she has a life expectancy to 17 years-old.

The teen posted a video to Facebook late last month, a plea to President Michelle Bachelet to allow her to end her life, saying “I am tired of living with this sickness”. Cystic fibrosis causes damage to the lungs and digestive system and is hampering Valentina’s quality of life.
