I keep up on the fight to find a cure and apparently a few breakthroughs have happened.
A few different drugs are showing a lot of promise and i think they have found the rogue gene that causes the plaque build up on the brain so that should make it easier to streamline drugs to fight it. Theres a lot of trials to go through before things get licenced though so could be up to 10 years before these promising drugs come on the market. Its madness because this is one of the rottenness diseases to inflict anyone and i doubt there is a relative out there who wouldnt agree to allow trials on their loved one, Tbh there,s nothing to lose as the person is already gone, its the same body alright but the person you love is gone to be replaced by a stranger. |

All kinds of progress being made - a lot through trials of drugs that were supposed to cure other things. The pharmaceutical industry is really pretty crap. Certainly spends more on marketing than research. Keep on keeping on. I'm certain I'll live for ever. A really frightening thought.

Here we go again. Another case going to the High court. Noel Conway is a 67 year old man, tragically he is terminally ill with motor neurone disease. His biggest fear is to become entombed in his own body so now wants at the time of HIS choosing to be able to end his life. From what I can see he has lived a full and energetic life skiing, climbing and cycling. Why should he not be able to end if life given that there is no good possible outcome yet the state can decide to switch off Charlie Gaurd's life support system ? As usual disabled people are paraded out saying its a rocky slope to euthanasing disabled people.............what a load of b0ll0x ! On the news last night there was a woman (sorry can't remember her name, think she's in the House of Lords) making a statement against it. She spoke very eloquently about her belief so I have no doubt she would be able to convey to those involved "I don't want to die" so I see no risk in allowing those that do to end their days with dignity.
