Sheila your post really says it all…Money… We are seeing a lack of human compassion where abortion is an issue and in this also. I am reminded of the Dutch dancer who hurt her foot badly and decided to choose euthanasia - legal there - because she could not live without her dancing. Yes it went ahead, in her 20s. She could have learned to live in another way and helped others but cult of self among our young is rife. I am over 70 now and have M.E and Raynauds and other ageing issues, but would not choose death for life is so precious. And not ours to destroy. In Holland ( and I am in Ireland) many old ones were and probably still are made to feel a burden and that it was their duty… In the UK many spina bifida babie were “allowed” to die by not feeding them and giving them codiene… I had the privilege of caring for one spina bifida child, a bright and lovely child who understood her condtion well… The consultant said in front of her that she should have been allowed to die. Nothing new under the sun now.
