I saw my friend Dennis on the news earlier. She is down from Manchester, taking part in a large anti assisted suicide protest up in Parliament square. I have a rather busy day here, otherwise I think I would be up there with them. While the right to choose is a very good thing, I still share the fear that assisted suicide is open to abuse. What if a terminally ill person was encouraged, implicitly or explicitly, to end their life? I have seen too many people – children – fight for one more dawn, day after day, to say it should be thrown away. I’m therefore glad to see Dennis and the guys up there, making sure the reservations of people with disabilities are heard, lest we are assumed to be lesser beings all just dying to end our miserable lives.
