A Victoria's Secret model has shared "the hardest and most beautiful conversation" of her life after her grandmother has decided to end her life. Ali Tate Cutler broke down in tears as she took to TikTok to raise awareness about euthanasia.
Her grandmother, who she calls Bubbie, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and said she wants to be in control of the end of her life. The pair were speaking from Canada, where euthanasia is legal. During the now-viral clip, Ali quizzes her gran on what precautionary questions were asked.
Buddie replies: "Your diagnosis is if it's fatal, how many more months you have; they give you time to consider. They keep stressing the fact that you can always change your mind."

Bubbie described being granted the treatment as "like light at the end of the tunnel". She explained that she will have an initial injection to put her to sleep.
"And then when you're in a deep sleep there are two other injections," Buddie said. "So it's painless.
"I think in my case I would like to do it at the hospital. I came in quietly, I'd like to go out quietly."
She added how she was "looking forward to putting an end to being dependent" on others and having "no control".
"I've always made my own decisions for myself," she said. "I do believe my husband is there saying 'It's about time'.
The video has been watched more than 3.2 million times, with scores of people having their say. One person wrote: "She got me with her husband saying it’s about time.
"I wish her a beautiful reunion with passed loved ones. I send my prayers to u and your family."
Another penned: "She’s writing how her story ends on her terms!! Praying that you all find peace in her decision."
A third said: "I cannot stop sobbing this is so beautiful the idea that her husband is calling her home."
Others wanted to hear more wise words from Buddie. Someone said: "Can you do a video of life advice from her… the three most important things she wants people to know who have years and years of life left."
