One result of her illness that she did mention was that children ran away from her in the street - because of how she looked. I think that a single picture is not inappropriate in this case. A gallery is probably excessive.</p> news.com.au did not publish the entire interview.

This is a very rare disease which if caught early is curable, but unfortunately is hard to diagnose. The cause is unknown, but early symptoms include a loss of the sense of smell.

I fully support a person’s right to choose to end their suffering should they wish when they have a terminal disease. Shame on politicians for not addressing what needs to be done to deal with this issue.
