The stories within this are awful, but why does anyone imagine things are better when euthanasia isn't an option? People in other countries also get left in care homes, sitting in faeces for days. Some wait weeks or months for suitable pain relief and other palliative care. We should absolutely be looking to fix the underlying issues, but euthanasia isn't working against them, it's another treatment to minimise suffering. When your choices are inappropriate suffering or inappropriate death, why is one better than the other? That's well before you consider —and I mean really consider, working with— what it is to rot away with a neurodegenerative disease. Giving people an out at an appropriate time by an appropriate mechanism has to be better than losing yourself. But no, that doesn't sell the Spectator. "SOCIALISM KILLS THE POOR" seems much more their tone.
