      I’m not going to praise a landlord or a slaver for their deathbed generosity, even if it does technically make them better than the alternative.

      Do you think she would have done the same thing if she had had children or close family?

      This would have been a good story if she recognized what she was doing while she was alive and willingly stopped feeding the system. As it is it cost her nothing while alive and therefore gains her corpse nothing.
