Comments on: Whose life is it anyway? http://sarabedford.org.uk/whose-life-is-it-anyway/ The thoughts of a Mum, LibDem and Gooner Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:19:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: P.J. http://sarabedford.org.uk/whose-life-is-it-anyway/comment-page-1/#comment-711 P.J.

This is a horrible subject that none of us want to confront, Debbie Purdy and have family have been forced to do so and have come to the conclusion that most of us have, that a person's life is their own and that they should have the right to choose when their suffering outweighs the benefit of living. George Pitcher is fortunate enough not to have to face this choice, his comments about Ms Purdy are truely beyond belief, this brave woman is spending her precious final days fighting for freedom of choice for everyone who may one day find themselves in that position while he (edited to be more civil than my initial phrasing) gets paid by the Telegraph to snipe from the sidelines. There are good arguments for both sides in this debate, although I feel the argument of personal choice is the most compelling, Pitcher doesn't bother with anything so tedious and instead just goes straight for a personal attack on grounds of lack of respect and supposed manipulation by a 'pro euthanasia lobby'. I'm truely disgusted. Well said.
