        @BBCBreaking let's hope the government have the balls to debate this again and treat humans as humanely as animals to end suffering.

        @BBCBreaking The decision is disgusting. We wouldn't keep a dog alive, living this way as it would be 'in humane' so why do it to humans?

        @BBCBreaking heartbreaking and all this legal red tape. We should all be given the right to die with dignity . And not have to suffer pain.
