Just another day at the office, the significance of which wasn't apparent at the time :-[

RIP Mr Bonner.

An interesting, if emotive, debate.

Just watched the whole thing through... Difficult watch but very tastefully done.

And he is who? Done what? Famous for?
Or in a nutshell I've never heard of him, sorry.

He is (was) a man with motor neurone disease, the BBC made a documentary about him going to Switzerland for assisted suicide: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2016/feb/11/how-to-die-simons-choice-review-beautiful-film-assisted-dying

Embarrassingly I had read about it in the paper and misread his surname :-[ corrected in my quote.

But yes, that's the chap ;)

I admire the man for his spirit and determination in seeing things through and choosing his own time and way of dying.Too many people I think hold to the belief that life is sacred.To me it isn't it's the quality of life that's important,I wouldn't want to be kept going if it meant a machine doing the "living"for me or such like.R.I.P. sir.
