VIDEO: Sneak Peek - Brittany Maynard Renews National Debate on Right to Die; Appears on CBS

Brittany Maynard, the 29-year-old woman with terminal cancer who has renewed a national debate about the right to die, gives her first television interview to CBS THIS MORNING. The interview will be broadcast tomorrow, Oct. 14 on CBS THIS MORNING (7:00-9:00 AM) on the CBS Television Network.

An excerpt was broadcast tonight, Oct 13 on the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY (6:30-7:00 PM, ET). Watch the excerpt below

Maynard recently moved from California to Oregon, which allows terminally ill patients to end their lives with a doctor's assistance. She plans to do that November 1, a few weeks before her 30th birthday.

"I don't want to die. If anyone wants to hand me, like a magical cure, and save my life so that I can have children with my husband, I will take them up on it," she said in the interview with CBS News Chief Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford. "But we haven't been able to find that, and the way that I would die just according to this disease is terrible. I can lose all sorts of cognitive ability, my personality, memory. I may go blind."

Chris Licht is the Vice President of Programming, CBS News, and Executive Producer of CBS THIS MORNING.

Steve Capus is the Executive Editor of CBS News and Executive Producer of the CBS EVENING NEWS WITH SCOTT PELLEY.
