Seriously though, my father had ALS and while his electric wheelchair was pretty decent (for $25K it ought to be!) it basically required an assistant to move it safely.

And most people that get completely paralysed like that need treatment to make them stop asking people to end their misery, these are the facts.
Empathy is just a thing that isn't around in abundance I guess, hence the success they had in introducing torture in the US.

Trust me, being in a wheelchair or even totally paralyzed does not mean you can't (or don't) have sex.

Loss of the use of your arms and legs does not equate to loss of desire to live. It does not mean you can no longer communicate, learn, teach, enjoy, love, appreciate or live.

Did I say I wanted people to freaking suffer? No I just have empathy (look it up if you are american, use an old dictionary if it's not in yours)

And yes I'm familiar with the denial phase, so I'll shut up to you about it now.
