➸ How to Live Longer
At our first CIL, on campus at Berkeley, we had a whole bunch of people with progressive disabilities like multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy - people whose disability was ‘terminal.’
They got involved in the politics of independent living and they lived longer. Not just one or two years, but fifteen or twenty!
If you’re independent, and you fight, you live longer.
This is what’s chilling about hospice culture.
A lot of people on hospice shouldn’t be dying.
