I still find it hard to believe that in this day and age a couple facing such tragic circumstances have to travel abroad to afford themselves some dignity in their deaths.
Having just watched someone recently go through the same thing, my over riding thoughts when leaving the hospice most nights, was that this was inhumane. We afford animals more rights in this country than we do individuals.
A spokesman for the anti-euthanasia group Care Not Killing said:"However, hard cases make bad law and the fact remains that if euthanasia was ever legalised in Britain vulnerable and seriously ill people would come under pressure to end their lives prematurely
No one is talking about putting individuals under pressure to choose this course of action but where someone has chosen this, is mentally able to make these decisions and has no hope - why on earth not !
Totally agree. If I get terminal cancer and when the pain becomes too extreme..heaven forbid...I'll be on the first flight to Geneva on my own thank you.
WHO in their right mind wants to go through all the hell, pain, anguish and suffering for however long they can extend the miserable end to your life, with pain killers and various other drugs and operations.
No thanks, you know the end is nigh, so lets get it done and dusted.
Anyway, I fully intend to attend my own wake in person before the 'happy' event. Why should I let every one else get pissed up on my behalf without my presence. I'll be friggin' paying for it, there or not.
On funeral day, it'll be a quick trip down the crem, a few jokes and a bit of banter amongst the assembled congrgation of problee 5, couple of me favourite tunes including 'Baby you can light my fire', and then slither me into the oven, and turn it up to regulo 9. Out the crem, and a quick blast up me 'ill for a bit of 'dusting' of the vegetation.
