Why I am opposed to euthanasia after 14 years of caring for mum

Multiple myeloma is an aggressive form of cancer of the plasma cells, and sufferers have an average life expectancy of between two to four years. At 37, I've had to put my career as a travel presenter and poetry writer for TV and radio on hold so I can devote my time to her. I believe it's worth fighting for every moment of life - which is why I was so dismayed to hear in the past few days that there are 800 British people on a waiting list for Dignitas, an organisation in Switzerland that helps ill people end their lives.
