My Dad's slow painful death is still pretty raw 18 months on, and it's made my attitude on this issue go from passively supporting it to downright angrily supporting it.
The fact that even in 2016, it's still banned for someone to end their own life in the case of painful terminal illness, because there are holier-than-thou child-fuckers who don't want us to "play God", fucking disgusts me. It makes me so angry it's hard to keep a civilised tongue as I discuss it.
"Sancticty of life!!!" What life? A few weeks of feeling your body slowly deteriorate as you thrash and kick and scream for it to end? For what?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
