Without ghosts as plaintiffs, and fortune-tellers as witnesses, what they’re arguing is based on subjective experiences, what maybe happened, and what might happen. As a fully disabled woman (and practicing Catholic) with Bipolar Disorder for over three decades- and one who is confined to my home- I actually exist. I am proof. To deny someone like me MAID, is to leave me with a gruesome alternative. As I’ve said before, if the government has to justify violence, then justify this.
I’m reasonably confident that the lawyers have told their client that the likelihood of success is very small. But that doesn’t matter to this piece of legal theatre. The goal is not to win, but to appear to be fighting the good fight for people with disabilities, and to get media attention for doing so. Then they ask for donations to cover their costs, and to have lots left over. It’s all about the fund raising.

Thanks Evelyn.
