>"For the last 18 months, Dan Crews has been waging a battle to die, one that he is losing."
"Ugly", "Balding", "Short", "Never Leaves the House", "Fat", these are often characteristics we ascribe to ourselves inrelation to incelism, but one man takes these traits to another level.
Dan Crews is a 27 year old man who has been fully paralyzed ever since he was three. He can only move what's above the neck, so his eyes, mouth, etc.... he has no mobility below his neck and thus can not move any limbs.
He was promised that once he was 18, he would be granted autonomy over his medical decisions, hat of course was a lie. He has been begging the hospital for the right to die for almost a decade now, but they refuse, they ruled him depressed and thus have taken full control over his autonomy. Euthanasia is not legal in his jurisdiction, only refusal of medical treatment, but the mental health act allows patients to undergo forced treatment if they are deemed in the wrong state of mind. Crews has given no inclination of not being in the right state of mind other than expressing his desire to withhold medical treatment, it's a catch-22.
In fact, he can't even refuse food. He tried hunger striking to death but the doctors threatened to forcedfeed him with tubes to keep him alive, he eventually conceded. Now the bank is closing in on his house since he can't pay the mortgage, they're going to move him to a care facility where he'll be under watch of abusive carestaff 24/7.
Imagine being Dan Crews, his entire life, he's had to live vicariously through others. He never got to go anywhere or see anything, except through a TV screen, he's been totally bed bound since he was. One of his reasons for wanting to to die was his lack of "love life", being a fat ugly balding quad doesn't get you far in the dating world, who knew, but his whole life he's been forced to watch relationships through a screen. He likely has an overly-romanticized vision of them from all the movies and shows he inevitably watched. Crews has never had an orgasm, as his conditions prevents him from masturbation.
