- A woman with multiple sclerosis was disappointed and angry to learn she would not be included in the new assisted death law. CityNews reporter Cynthia Mulligan hears her story.
God I HATE this disease!! My sister has been battling MS for thirty years as of yesterday. It has ravaged her body and left her body weak, but it hasn’t broken her spirit. My heart goes out to everyone plagued with this disease and to their families.
She is 100% right. I'm so heartbroken watching this video. My younger sibling is at the end stages she discusses here. Absolutely she should have the right to end her life. It's completely exhausting and she is obviously and rightfully terrified. MS is a beast disease and not like dementia or Parkinsons, you're aware of everything that's happening and going to happen. It's like locked in syndrome at the end.
11.10. I'm 80 this year,and I have MS.i would love to be able to choose my end ,my way,when I feel that my quality of my life unbearable.
Poor Woman , She's been through a lot and is scared what the future holds. As a human being let her have her freedom and dignity to leave her life painlessly when she feels her time is right to go.
I wish the UK (the law, government) would open their eyes and allow euthanasia. In the Netherlands it is allowed, though they still let you run through a list before they perform euthanasia. It should not be the government's decision. It is up to the person (and may be the partner) to decide this.
I knew Jack Kevorkian person and I have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis as well as Transverse Myelitis which as demyelinates nerves. I refuse to let anyone and I do mean anyone tell me that I cannot have death with dignity.
I am bedridden, a catheter directly into my bladder through my stomach (suprapubic). I can't even on toilet for BM. I am 57and have gone downhill at breakneck speed. February 11th I go on Hospice Home Care for better pain control, but when I feel it's time, I will die with dignity and no politician will tell me I can't. The internet is full of ways to have it your way since no one wants to help us. Don't worry dear there is support for people like us.
You will have a beautiful ending with all the dignity you lived with. 💖💞💖 Live well.
I have Ms and its starting to progress
My brother is at this stage as well bit does not want to go to hospice. It's a horrific disease
Update please 🙏🏻
I have been battling this painful disease for well into a decade.
During some of the difficulties with it, my wife's health rapidly went downhill with diabetes leading to dialysis and finally to top it off cancer. After speaking with the very rude peop!e at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, my wife made the decision not to seek treatment and then stopping dialysis. Her death was as comfortable as could be at home with family. The only real benefit for me was, I was so busy during that time trying to care for her, that many of the worst parts of my MS pain I learned how to put on the back burner and still keep truckin'. Pretty damned awful that someone with kidney failure can easily decide when they want to go, but others must suffer?🤔
i agree
My friends dad turned 89 yrs has had ms since in his 20s he still will want to live for 20 more years i guess some people just want to live and others don't
Everyone’s MS disease is different no one is the same.
@@gerigarraway3050 you right everyones disease is different. I have ms for 20 plus years i eat everything not on any dmt drugs only take vitamin D daily and do squats an push ups daily. I use a cane only and still drive work an 8 hr job really hectic, an i know persons on dmt drugs have ms for 5 yrs an in a wheel chair.
RUclips SUCK😂😂😂
Bless you, Please talk to the lord jesus about this, No one could know how do you feel
It’s sad to watch the love of your life have her mind destroyed by it. And having to watch her decline… It breaks my heart. Like back then and now and until the end I will NEVER leave her side.
Use your disease to help others and you will find that you will get a great deal of joy inspiring others. Think of others and your life will be so much happier and fuller and it will help to find a way to tolerate your difficulties. I have MS and I view it as a gift not a hinderence to my happiness. I used to feel sorry for myself but now I know that be I am able to understand what others are going through, and helping them has given my life meaning. For example, my neurologist has MS and that makes her a better doctor not a worse specialist. Find ways to use your disease to your advantage. Euthanasia is never the answer. My nephew died of cancer and because of his courage he is my greatest inspiration. He is long gone but his courage and love for others live on in us. You do not want cancer. It can be a much worse disease than ours. LIVE YOUR LIFE. Do not spend the rest of your days in anger. Find ways to help others and you will help your self
This is the best most encouraging comment i have heard, it raised my spirits too. I have had ms myself for 20 plus years just started using a cane. I have been married for 20 years to my beautiful wife i also have two children 5 and 10. I am 48 yrs now it would be selfish on my part to take my life.Everyone goes through their own struggles some worst than the other. My good friends dad who has had ms just turned 85 yrs. He had ms since he was 21. I exercise everyday ( which is difficult on a stationary bike) Soon at isiah 33:24 no one will say i am sick. Leave me with all my pain once i am alive😀
@@shawnmcanthony5724 Thank you for your response. I also live with MS. Nearly every day I find new ways of helping others with progressive disease. I understand somewhat of the emotional roller coaster that others endure with a progressive disease. I am forced to use a stick as well. Occasionally, I am confined to a wheelchair. The MS community is brilliant at supporting one another.
@@georgelorenzo754 The good thing about this disease unlike cancer you live long but it can be some times depressing. Like this morning i have to get up and exercise i am so fatigued an in pain. I just found a lady ON youtube who turned 92 yrs who has ms, goes dancing but with a walker and loves life. So the notion one wants to kill themselves because of a disease is SELFISH.
@@shawnmcanthony5724 sending you all courage. Keep giving ur best to yourself and ur family. This is not easy for anyone. But we must fight the GIVING UP. Even healthy persons can give up, but this is not the answer. Wish u good health.
@@flk9066 THANKS wish you good health to
how old is woman
Same question. If she is older than 80 then she is very eloquent
RUclips sucks
I have MS. This woman is saying that people with progressive MS have no value. For someone suffering from MS who finds great value in living this woman is depressing to watch. Her life can still be full and complete even with a progressive disease. I do feel sorry for her because she cannot see the value in living.
George you so right i have had ms for 20 plus years i recently started using a cane no dmt drugs for me an still work an 8 hr job despite my pain an constant pins an needles. That lady is so depressing . My best friends dad just turned 89 yrs he has had ms since in his 20s. George surround yourself with positive people there are people who have ALS wish they had ms. An george i exrecise at least 3 to 4 days a week.
Wow you are heartless! Your MS is not her MS! Ms has the highest suicide rate of any disease. You don’t know what MS has taken from her nor if she has any help.
You guys need to remember that MS affects everyone differently. She isn't labeling ALL people with progressive MS as a life not worth living, but she has the right to her opinion regarding her own experience with the disease. I am so glad to hear you guys are doing well with your condition, however it doesn't pan out that way for everyone navigating this horrible disease. My mother is only 59, and she can barely lift herself out of her chair anymore. She's had it for 25 years. For around 18 years, you wouldn't even know she had it. But it turned on her hard. The last 7 years have been a very tough progression into the disease completely controlling her every waking moment. She's fought it so much, but as it's progressed she has begun to feel the same way as this woman, and I cant knock her for it, as I am a second-hand witness to her experience. I was 12 when she lost her driver's license. I'm 19 when I'm writing this, and shes spent the past 4 years in a chair 24/7. She's lost almost all physical capabilities, she has trouble speaking, and her cognition has been moderately affected as well. All I ask is that you respect people's views, even if they're hard to stomach. No one wishes this experience, but I commend this woman for fighting for her rights to live her life on her own terms. No one deserves to suffer.
If that's how she feels....
@Lala.H.R unfortunately it's the way it is. Given the quality of life, that woman and others do believe euthanasia would eventually be the best treatment option, but it's not legal in the US. We can do it for our pets to prevent their suffering. Why can't we do it for ourselves?
A second chance to ACCEPT JESUS into your Heart and Life, LIVE ETERNALLY IN HEAVEN!! If you go thru with this, “ WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR YOU”! You think you are hurting now, “WAIT TIL THE FLAMES WILL NEVER GO OUT”, and No water available!!!
Oh, please. If your life is so terrible then take responsibility and do it yourself! Stop relying on someone else to end your life because you're too much of a COWARD to do it, yourself.
Jamie Ellis-Reed you completely miss the point of this video
Jamie Ellis-Reed you are a disgusting, heartless human bean . God does like UGLY. Remember that 😘
T Glov thank you so much!
How fucking dare you
They give you the tools to do it yourself. It comes in a kit. Are you that stupid?
I am SO sad to hear this , MS is affecting her quality of life. If you can contact Pegasos Basel Sweden they will grant your wish straight away and they accept anyone even this chronic tinnitus so you will be accepted without a doubt
You sound American or Canadian so please god you are allocated the right to die in your own country by physician assistance.
But IF NOT you will no doubt be accepted by Pegasos...so that will give you some hope you will have a way out of suffering.
I hope this helps xxx
my god canada is killing too many people already!!! Its sick!
