After my two glorious days in Middle-Earth, it’s back to the real world and far less comfortable things. I think I ought to just direct you here, to a blog entry by Miss queen concerning the case of Tony Nicklnson, who yesterday lost his case to be allowed to ask a doctor to kill him. While I’m not sure I agree with everything Phoebe says, she makes some very valid points, especially about self-pity and the perception of disabled people in general – it’s definitely worth a read for anyone interested in crip politics. As for myself, I do not know what to think, but on the whole I guess that I’m glad that the murder of cripples was not effectively legalized yesterday.
