James’ Mum travelled to Switzerland alone because assisted dying is illegal in the UK.
She spent her life’s savings and had to undertake the journey earlier than she would have liked to make sure she was well enough to travel.
Dying people deserve a choice.

MPs have gathered the evidence and it's clear: the current law is not working.
The most dangerous thing Westminster could do now, is nothing.
It's time for change. #YesToDignity

100k people have backed Esther Rantzen’s petition.
This sets the stage for a fresh debate in Parliament, which will enable people to see whether their own MP agrees that it’s time for change, or whether they are prepared to stand by a status quo that is unsafe, unfair & unequal
Dame Esther Rantzen wants the choice of when and where she dies. She doesn’t want her family’s last memories of her to be painful.
She shouldn’t have to go to Switzerland.
She shouldn’t have to worry about the possibility of her loved ones being prosecuted for accompanying her.
“If I reach the stage when my life is unendurable, I would love my nearest and dearest to have the memory of my death being one I chose, peaceful and without pain.
Please add your name to our petition and spread the message."
- Esther Rantzen

“This is a historic vote, one which puts the Isle of Man on the path to become the first part of the British Isles to legalise assisted dying" @sarah_wootton#YesToDignity

Rosemary has incurable bone marrow cancer.
She has the green light to go to Dignitas but she doesn't want to die hundreds of miles from home.
However, assisted dying is illegal in the UK, so she is unable to have the death she wants.
This isn't right.
8 out of 10 British people support the choice of assisted dying for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.
Westminster must listen to the people and change the law.

Maddie was diagnosed with sarcoma at 19.
She might live for decades, but she wants the comfort of knowing she can choose an assisted death at the end of her life, and she doesn’t want her family to be left with traumatic memories of her suffering
How can anyone argue with this?
“Choice is really important. Everybody’s choice.”
MPs need to listen to these voices and put themselves in the shoes of those who are directly affected by our lack of an assisted dying law.
The current law is failing our dying citizens. Only Westminster can put this right.
