Honestly, I think it's incredibly sad that this is the wish of a 17-year-old, and I'm kind of creeped out by the whole thing -- while recognizing that my opinion doesn't mean a damn thing to her or her family. But WTF, for real.

I'm with you, sister. It makes me think of 14 year olds in rural Utah being married off or something.

It's very nice that the girl got what she wanted - honestly, I can't imagine being in a situation where death was imminent, and I can't even begin to imagine what my first choices would be in that case.
When I was working in the hospital system in Boston, I heard a full range of requests from kids at Dana Farber who were chosen by Make-A-Wish. Because of that, her choice doesn't surprise me in the least.
It's nice to see that she got what may be one of her last happy moments.
