I'm surprised she doesn't consider that asking people to help kill her might be considered something of a burden. "Being smothered by a pillow" is very hard to do by yourself. But she's a brilliant philosopher and has probably reasoned that the world is full of bathtubs and toasters.
You've got the two people mixed up. Mary Warnock is the "brilliant" philosopher. Jenni Murray is the feminist media person and the one who spoke about letting herself be killed if she ever becomes a burden to anyone. As opposed to being a burden to the tens of millions of British citizens who are forced to pay the BBC for their flood of lies, bad taste and moral nullity, including her inane wafflings.
I think I have them now. But I'm having trouble with your use of the word "feminist" - she's right in line with the establishment. When she is "useless" - in other words, no longer desireable, or fecund, or rich - she would rather be destroyed rather than waste the resources taking care of an old, ugly, high-maintenance female husk. That's the epitome of sexist. Having to depend on anyone to take care of her terrifies her, because in her heart she knows she can't. Is this a common view? Isn't NHS there for the elderly? Why then would anyone feel trapped into taking care of them if they didn't want to?
OK - you quoted a quote, but you didn't answer the question. Does NHS cover "Long Term Care" for people with Parkinsons? Why is this woman so frightened?
I answer that one in the next two posts on this subject. I am afraid I do go on a bit, but I try to explain why certain conclusions follow on the way that Britain is really governed.
