Roger Bailey, 66, says he is in constant pain from nerve damage and is doubly incontinent with no treatment available. He decided last year that he wanted to die and has now set up a crowdfunding page to end his life at Dignitas in Switzerland. Roger, who was married for 22 years but now lives alone, said people should treat it as an investment as they will be saving the NHS money in his long-term treatment.He said: "I decided more than a year ago it was time for me to die."I am not terminally ill but I am in constant pain and rapidly losing my dignity."I'm hoping people will treat my crowdfunding bid as an investment."By helping me die, they are saving the NHS thousands of pounds in money it would cost to treat me.
