Great points about the Bella/Elizabeth Masen parallels. I think Carlisle probably didn't change Elizabeth because she didn't ask him to. For herself, she possibly felt at peace dying and going on to whatever afterlife there may be. But her motherly instinct was for Edward to be saved at all costs. It's possible that she was too weak to survive the change as well.
Hmm..that may be true. But then again...why wouldn't you take a chance at eternity as long as you could be with someone you loved? In this case it's her son..

It probably comes down to something like this: A lot of people have faith that there is an afterlife, but no one knows for sure. In Elizabeth's case, as a believer, she was okay with accepting her chances for herself. She probably thought in death she would be going to heaven and reunited with her husband. When it came to her son, however, the instinct to fight for her son's survival was too strong. This is not something she's willing to leave to chance. She wants him to live no matter what it takes.

And also, Edward was 17. He had his whole life. She didn't want him to be a ZoeGirl song.

Yeah I think she cared about him more than she cared about herself. I wonder how she knew that Carlisle could save him (turning him into a vampire.)

I would really like Midnight Sun to include more details about Elizabeth. The moment she was introduced, I was already intrigued of what lies beneath the name. :)
