To Live like a Dog

When I was sixteen I wrote a Speech on Euthanasia and after enduring 30 years of existing with Bi- Polar I think I should be entitled to Euthanasia when the going gets too tough. Some Mental Health Patients manage to live relatively normal and happy lives but for those that are just subsisting surely that suffering should have limitation. Mental Patients have very little rights and are walked over and taken advantage of in almost every corner of society. Mental suffering is big business for Drug Companies and the Medical Profession and a burden on Society in general so why not let people get off the bus. Instead we invest lots of money into propping people up who don't want to be propped up. Comprehensive care needs to be given when people present rather than the bottom of the cliff approach. Mental Patients are not just Statistics. They are Human Beings that should be allowed the Power to vote on their treatment after ten years by choosing or not choosing Euthanasia. I'm sure that if there was a limit to the amount of suffering these people had to endure services would improve tenfold at the beginning. Why should a Human Being be subjected to interminable suffering when they are shunned in nearly every corner of society?
