Are We Not Worthy?
From Miss Crip Chick's blog: http://crip-power.com/2007/12/16/are-we-not-worthy/#more-163

"I have a very difficult time with these ”right-to-die” stories because although I believe in personal liberties, these particular cases are based on the idea that life with a ventilator or any assistive technology is absolutely horrific. They’d rather be dead than be me. The ironic-but-sad thing is that ventilators, powerchairs, sign language, learning braille, crutches, feedings tubes—for the most part, they make life BETTER for people."
