    So Wes is voting against a policy that would allow people to opt to die peacefully and on their own terms, rather than struggle through avoidable pain and anguish, costing the NHS more money to maintain the painful and diminished life of someone who doesn’t want to be here anymore, perpetuating unnecessary costs on the NHS that, if saved, would then change Wes’ mind about the whole thing? Sounds like a catch 22. Why do pets and even some livestock get to die quicker and with more dignity than people?
