Irish mother and daughter dead in suspected murder-suicide in Spain


This is terrible news.  Questions need to be asked.  Such headlines just tell people that the couple were despairing over their daughter who had Down Syndrome.  The word 'tragic' makes I seem like a sad event (which of course it is) but understandable....which it is NOT!

The questions I'd like to ask are:

• Which of the adult parent did the killing?
• Was it a 'pact' or did Mother & child not know it was going to happen?
• what help were the parents getting?

It is NEVER OK to kill a disabled child or adult.  These cases only promote the view that disability is a tragedy and that the child/adult has caused such a terrible burden this is the only way out.

Society at present is hell bent in conveying that disabled people are expensive, scroungers and demanding and exhausting.  This leads everyone to believe it'd be best if we died. 

This is NOT a 'tragic' case...(per se) this is MURDER and should be viewed in the context that every life is valuable .  It also shows that society is NOT willing to support people who have any kind of difficulty or difference.  We are in an age of eugenics.
