I feel pressure to end my life, says motor neurone sufferer
Published: January 24th, 2014
A motor neurone disease (MND) sufferer has told BBC radio that introducing assisted suicide would place sick people under increased pressure to end their lives prematurely.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Michael said that he would not contemplate assisted suicide if his condition worsened, but that he felt under pressure to do so from people asking him "several times a week" whether he would consider it.
He said: "It makes one feel like I should be contemplating it for sake of the health service or my family watching what I'm going through."
