    I want this in the UK. Free and humane access end of life services, should be a human right for all adults.

    I am genuinely fucking terrified of attempting again on my own and fucking it up so badly that I end up too brain damaged to live independently and get sectioned for life.

    I’ve experienced first hand how NHS MH services treat vulnerable people under their care, and I know full well how much worse it gets if you don’t have any capacity left to self advocate and be heard.

    If the UK government won’t provide a functioning healthcare, housing and benefits system to look after the disabled and mentally ill, they should at least allow us the choice of dying comfortably in a safe environment.

      Wouldn’t the functioning care system be more desirable?
