Terminally-ill Marie has already decided on way to end her life - Independent.ie
This is Ireland. I note how she recognises to quote "it seems they will not give me permission to die but will not help me to live either". She is referring to all the cut backs to disability help. She's right!
You can't kill yourself but you can live in misery!
I'm NOT in favour of euthanasia but the issues Marie raises is painfully true.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
