The law has to change.

Does this look like a murderer? Our mom got charged with murder for trying to commit suicide with our cancer riddled dad, so he would be out of pain. This was the end of a 60 year love story, NOT MURDER!!! @dignityindying @BBCNews @ITV @davidgold @MeacherMolly @kevinwwfc666

RCGP survey: Make your vote count: https://t.co/h5pbWvYtWH

Can people share far and wide to all our GP colleagues. Please complete your college's survey to consider the need for a change in the law to allow assisted dying #dignityindying #choice #dignity

Thank you @GwentPCC and @NorthWalesPCC for supporting @RonaldHogg1 in his call for an inquiry into the law on assisted dying. How about @commissionersw supporting the people of Cardiff and South Wales too? #choice #autonomy #assisteddying

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

BREAKING:

18 police and crime commissioners have written to the Secretary of State for Justice, calling for an inquiry into the impact of the current law on assisted dying.

It's clear that the blanket ban on assisted dying is not working for dying people

An interesting find in the news this morning. Maybe if Wales has control of its justice system then we really can achieve a change in the law for Wales' people #dignityindying #choice #autonomy #AGoodDeath #CompassionIsNotACrime

This lady had the choice to die at a time when she felt her life was intolerable for her. I support Assisted Dying, not euthanasia but it's all about choice #dignityindying #choice #autonomy

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

@socialmissfit3 @dignityindying Goodness me; I am rarely lost for words but this really is appalling. Lack of humanity and care with the law as it is. David's wife didn't want to die; she was dying and she should have had the choice to do that in her own home. #compassionisnotacrime #dignity

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

The law has to change. It's about choice and we, in Wales, can help instigate change #dignity #choice #autonomy #assisteddying

Good to finally meet and plan with @mimday and other @dignityindying campaigners in Cardiff with @fran_hall1

@david3012 @dignityindying Exactly. It's not 'either v or' it's a about having the choice

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

@dignityindying Shocking but not unusual for those of us who work in healthcare with people who are dying.

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

@jason_whalley @NWAmbulance You gorgeous people. Thank you for caring

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

@Physicianassi10 @AGoodDeath @dignityindying A profile that says ‘pass on’ - ironic I presume in amongst this thread of using honest, clear language when referring to dying and death

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

Such a lack of humanity. The law has to change; this can’t keep on happening

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

"Our dad would have been devastated at the thought of his beloved wife waiting to find out if, at the age of 80, she would face a life sentence in prison simply for respecting his wishes."

This can't go on.

Compassion is not a crime.

@dr_zo @scottishphil83 Couldn’t agree more. It’s about choice. Debating whether we’ve only seen good deaths as doctors misses the point (and would necessitate removing some rose tinted specs!)

Isn't that how we'd all want to die? At the time of our choosing surrounded by those whom we love?

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

This is uncomfortable watching and unnecessary. It's clear; the law needs to change because people want and deserve DIGNITY and CHOICE at the end of their lives and if they're adults with capacity then it should be each individual's choice, no one else's.

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

Some of our elected politicians have humanity and support dignity and choice. We just need to convince all their colleagues. The law has to change #dignityindying #dying #choice

[Kit Malthouse MP @kitmalthouse]

Who would deny that this was his most fundamental human right?

[Dignity in Dying Cardiff @DidCardiff]

Euthanasia campaigner Richard Selley dies at Swiss clinic. The law needs to change. The family should at been able to be at home with Richard in Scotland when he chose to die with dignity #dignityindying https://t.co/pbAwANux0b

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

BREAKING: Richard Selley's wife, Elaine, has updated his blog to say Richard died peacefully at Dignitas:

“I am writing this post from my hotel room in Zurich. Richard died very peacefully at lunchtime today. His brother Peter and I were at his side."
