I lost both of my parents to terminal cancer.  My Dad died in 1993 nursed at home by my mother and he had no wish to use euthanasia to end his life.  He died peacefully with my Mum by his side and my brother and I in attendance.

My mother, Anne Holland, had Parkinson's disease. She knew that this would eventually kill her but she wanted to get the maximum out of life before that happened. She arranged her affairs and spent 4 years in nursing home care before she deteriorated. 

My dad Dusty Miller was a Vietnam Veteran and founder of the now iconic Birdsville Bakery. 

I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) on 19 November 2015. I don't want to see this disease through to its horrific conclusion. I have attached a photo of me wearing a tee-shirt, which I may have to wear permanently. I have also attached a photo of 'special needs' for MND patients. I would rather be dead than tolerate the majority of these scenarios. 'Mobility and transfers' - Who in their right mind can endure, or be expected to endure, any of this?
