The irony of a system that's supposed to care but suggests you'd be better off dead. It's like inviting someone to dinner only to serve them a plate of existential dread.
Christine's story is a gut-punch, a wake-up call that compassion isn't a box to be checked by bureaucrats. It's a human necessity, especially for those who've already given so much.
The government's "right to die" quip is a slap in the face, not just to Christine but to anyone who believes in the dignity of life.
