[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, weren't they talking recently of not treating the elderly if the powers that be thought they had had a good inning?
But yet when those who want to be euthanised ask for a special dispensation because their lives have no quality to them - these requests are turned down.
They will look at the elderly in terms of what value they have to society.
Well, I guess I could be considered elderly....what have I given to society. Lots,but that won't count.
I still provide a service. I look after my sick daughter and her children. Don't get me wrong I don't want any medals, but this is saving money for the country.......so would I be considered as worthless?

When people are having to work for many more years before they reach retirement the last thing they want to think is that health care provisions will be removed from them because they 'have had a good innings' or that the health care costs cannot be justified.

It is all further evidence of the moral decline of this country. And all the political parties are to blame.
