Like I previously said I am aware of your own personal struggles but that doesnt give you the only valid opinion on the matter. I am strongly in favour of personal choice with this, I dont think anyone should be denied the right to choose. You have stated your position Angie and I respect that, you if given the choice would choose to stay alive, but someone else in your position could well choose to end their suffering.
As for the dig at Ange about her making you want to die, well that was a pretty low blow, that was uncalled for and was purely for a reaction  I appreciate that you did not like what was said to you, but I think that was very low.

Nobody is denied a right to choose, if they were I'd feel entirely different about this, thats my point.
That is also A long long way off making suicide legal.
People can ..will and do whatever they feel is right for them, and AGAIN for the record I would support and respect there course of action.
That too though is a long long way short of supporting a legalised suicide.
I have NEVER EVER saught sympathy on this forum for my condition, NEVER!!!! I completely resent that when in fact Ive done everything possible to treat this place as a normal poster as possible, you have no idea to what extent that manifests itself so don't talk to me about low blows and pretend to "appreciate" what I may or may not like.
I don't need patronising thank you very much.
As for the comment to ange it seems you and her have missed the point yet again, many times Ive wished I was dead , as I'm sure we have all said at some time.
Thats no low blow its a figure of speach which was meant to highlight exactly how easy someone can wish to die, given the "ideal" criteria ange stipulated in an earlier post, that wish together with my non improving terminal condition means all I need is to find a doc whom Ive never met before and hey .........I'm dead.
Now how low a blow would that be?
