We should have similar clinics to the Swiss in this country.

If I begin reading a book that's no good, I don't waste time reading to the end.

If a film in the cinema is pants, I'll up and leave before the lights go up again.

I'm forty six, and have a degenerative illness, for which there's no cure.

If I'm expected to spend my fifties sat in Spring Hill nursing home, slumped in front of day time telly, with baby food slopped down my front, they can sod off.

I'll be phoning Heidi Airways, and booking a one way ticket to the land of the Toblerone, and holey cheese.

I'm not being defeatist. I'm hopeful there'll be a cure for Parkinson's in my life time.

If there isn't, I'll do what I've always done in my life...exactly what 'I' wanted.

My choice.

My informed, rational choice.

'Mine'.
