Jerika wants to go into hospice care, turn off the device that helps her breathe and let her life slip away. Jerika told WLUK-TV. "She's only 14 and we know that the brain is not fully matured," Carrie Ann Lucas, founder and executive director of the Colorado-based Disabled Parents Rights, told Fox News. "She's in a body that's nearly paralyzed and painful all the time," Alton Olson, who was hired as the DJ for "Jerika's Last Dance" told Fox News. "In your life you need to like yourself…because for a while, probably up until I decided (to end her life) I didn't like myself,” Jerika told WLUK-TV.
