My mother has M.S.
I see the agony she goes through every day, I help her manage the cocktail of drugs she has to take for the pain, and the spasms, and the shakes.
Every once in a while i come downstairs to find my mum in bed not able to get up because her legs will not work, and i then have to manipulate the muscles in her legs to get them working.
My mum is the strongest person I know.
And yes, I agree with assisted suicide, because I am not selfish enough to keep someone alive, who is begging to die because the pain and humiliation is to much, because I dont want them to die.
Its easy enough to say I disagree with assisted suicide if you don't have first hand experience with someone with a crippling disease.
My mum always says " I'd much rather be remembered for the happy memories, than the memories of my life wasting away."
