AN MS sufferer left bedbound, in agony and unable to even feed herself has pleaded with MPs to be given the right to die.
Jane Barnes told how she is now just existing in her care home as husband Colin looks on helplessly.
And as a Commons committee debates the assisted dying ban, the 66-year-old begged MPs to change the law and allow her to put a stop to her endless suffering.
Food-lover Jane, who used to enjoy cooking, hosting dinner parties and going to gigs with Colin, said: "I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
"There is so much of me that I have lost and it breaks my heart knowing it isn't there. I haven't got a life any more, what is the point in living? I am just a lump in a bed.
"Bedbound, in pain and can't eat or drink. Can you imagine how awful that is? It breaks my heart. I may be physically up the creek but mentally I'm still there. I have still got a brain.
"I keep saying to people, can you walk in my shoes? Not being able to go outside and enjoy my life, not having a good time."
"It's just dreadful living like this and I hate it with a passion, 66 is such a young age to be like this." Jane, of Burnham Market, Norfolk, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1985 but started to deteriorate in 2009. By 2019, she and Colin, who she married 48 years ago, decided she needed full-time care.
Although she says she receives the best help possible, Jane suffers painful spasms over her body.
