'So does the thought of
being an intolerable burden to their family. But campaigners scrupulously avoid talking about the wider social landscape, the rocketing numbers of those with dementia outliving their brains at vast personal and
social cost.'
This is the portion I don't agree with the part where you are meant in your dotage to feel you are social slurry...
This I feel is in alignment with a eugenics ethic, you are no longer useful, you should therefore feel it is acceptable to cease to exist.
If you want this do it, it is quite rightly a huge social taboo and it's a cop out to suggest it's only the religious who are ethically opposed.
I would be interested to see the medical professionals opinions in support of euthanasia, not the BMA actual practicing doctors.
