People with dementia should be able to end their lives if they feel they are a burden to others or to the NHS, according to a respected ethicist. ********************
Imagine being stricken with dementia and knowing that this is the attitude of those around one. Knowing that one is considered a burden by others. Feeling unloved and unwanted. I could cry.

Precisely. It is disgusting to think that those you love will simply kill you the minute your health declines.
