I just watched that Terry Pratchett documentary about assisted suicide.
Definitely the most harrowing thing I've seen today.

Don't run yourself down so much.
Apply for a few creative writing courses and listen to what they have to say this time, they're only there to help you.

I'm told that there's coded advice on when the next 10 year's worth of terror attacks are going to happen in the text of 'Making Money'.
Shame for Dekion that he'll never read them.

One of my mates is doing a radio
interview about it tomorrow. He has MND and will no doubt pop his clogs soon. I will be interested to see what he has to say. I didn't watch...I don't like real stuff about death.

I'm not so fond it when celebrities get involved
discussion about assisted suicide/euthanasia is needed, but a celebrity fronting that discussion means that the negatives to it aren't discussed in as much detail

He did it for a reason
it's not like it was Davina McCall doing it www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/jun/12/terry-pratchett-dignitas-suicide-euthanasia

I'm not sure the fact that Pratchett is Pratchett
makes his views on euthanasia more worthy than any other possible victim of a degenerative disorder

He's got more chance of getting a documentary made
because of who he is than if it were just you or me.

He does have some weight though
being as he is poorly and will only get more so. Random jump on board slebs..I agree..but I think he was a good choice in this case. As I say though, I didn't watch.

It's a really difficult issue
I'm not for it, but not because of morality more because of the difficulty in implementing a system that didn't lead to wide spread abuse.
(, Mon 13 Jun 2011, 22:28, archived)
I think it's an excellent idea.
I also think that the desire for life to continue is so powerful that actually the abuse will come from those loved ones wanting NOT to do it, rather than do it.

I'm not so sure
the stories recently of the way care home staff can treat the vulnerable, the abuse stories, killing elderly people for their last fifty pounds, I'm coming round to the idea that there would be chavs intimidating or guilting their grandmother into dying so they can get her last bits and pieces.

That happens anyway.

Oh god yes...
always has, always will. Those who really WANT to die should be able to. If it ever happens it will be very difficult to achieve I think. The red tape will be massive.

Besides, any true follower of the Party would be bang alongside the idea of the vulnerable being ruthlessly exploited for the gain of others.
