From what I've seen so far-the testimony from her uncle is great and also heartbreaking. From what I've read so far, I do not feel that Kacee injected herself with the insulin.

I don't think Kacee injected herself either, but from Kacee's own words I think she desperately wanted Meggan to inject her.

I agree with you on this. The parts of testimony that I heard from her uncle saying essentially that she was happier than she had been in months really stood out to me because I have heard that people who decide to end their lives sometimes seem happier at the end because they have made that decision and know they will be at peace soon.

Yes, Kacee had documented many times in writing and speech her wishes for end of life. It seems Meggan and Meggan's mother were the only ones to take her seriously,
As it turns out, Kacee didn't have cancer. I am not clear on how much, if any, physical pain she was experiencing.
