A right-to-die advocacy group has issued new video footage of Brittany Maynard to mark what would have been her 30th birthday, three weeks after her death. In the video, recorded in August, Maynard calls on more states to enact legislation allowing terminally ill people to end life on their own terms. Maynard, terminally ill with brain cancer, grabbed the national spotlight for about a month after publicising that she and her husband moved to Portland so she could use Oregon's law to end her life on her own terms. Maynard ended her life on November 1. Footage:YouTube/CompassionChoices
