“At one point I contemplated putting a pillow over her face - that’s when I started to question why the law puts us in this position. Why are we putting families in a situation where they feel they might go to such lengths to end suffering?” #AssistedDying https://t.co/4phKwKo59H
Life without choice is not a gift. Religious views should not be used to deny the right to an #AssistedDeath for people who are terminally ill or incurably suffering. Religious people all over the world support the right to a dignified death and those voices need to be heard.
Despite the very best care, many people who are terminally ill or intolerably suffering, face agonising and often slow deaths. These people are being denied a compassionate death and we need the law to change. #AssistedDying
BREAKING: First ever Commons inquiry into @dignityindying 🙌
This could be a victory for compassion but only if the inquiry puts the voices of those most affected by injustice of current law at its heart: dying people and their families.

This is thee worse nightmare for the patient and the family members,as you are always on high alert,sleep deprivation and PTSD,which could add to existing trauma to loved ones.Sending love and healing bugs to family.♥️
The UK’s ban on assisted dying is not only uncompassionate but deeply unsafe and unequal.
Denied the safe, legal choice they want in this country, dying people like Zoe's mum are resorting to taking their own lives in traumatising ways, leaving untold devastation for loved ones.

Jean had been a right-to-die campaigner all her life. At age 86 she had various medical conditions; she felt her life was complete and wanted to end it. Jean chose to starve herself to death. An #AssistedDying law would have given Jean the compassionate death she deserved.
A key milestone on the road to assisted dying reform on the Isle of Man and across the British Isles.
Well done to @allinson_alex for his compassion. All @dignityindying are ready to help legalise choice at the end of life.
