I don't know if anybody watched that programme, and I am not posting here to create big arguments. However when it comes down to it, people treat their pets more humanly than we do our own loved and cherished family.

My mother is a nursing home. She is almost blind, cannot walk and has no idea where she is. She is 93 and very frail and all alone. Her self dignity has gone and relies totally on nuring staff to look after her requirements. Her quality of life is zilch. When we visit her it is so sad as she howls and cries and it is so upsetting.

How I wished Assisted Suicide was allowed in this country (UK). I would never allow my mother to be forced along that route, but if she wanted it, I would be the first one to endorse her decision.

Why oh why do we allow our loved ones to be treated worse than our pets.

I have to say, that if I was in that position, I would like to take that route and not have all these goody goody people saying that it is wrong.
