to be honest, I wouldn't usually as a rule, and it was just on in the background to begin with. I usually find things like this a bit sanctimonious and holier than thou, but this was done quite well, and gave me, someone fortunate enough to be born and living relatively free of ailments and disabilitiies, an insight into the sheer hell some of these people's lives are made by the ignorance and hatred of others.

certainly is a problem for the parents' of children with disabilities as well - wondering who will look out for them when they themselves are dead.

Care in the community... shame some of the communities are such shitty places to be...
