I am so proud of the strength she showed, but I have to live with the regret of not being with her for her final days. The lack of an assisted dying law in this country is forcing people like my Mum to end their lives prematurely. – James

Thank you for speaking out Esther, the public overwhelmingly supports you. It’s time for politicians to catch up. Doing nothing is simply not an option. #YesToDignity

"You may not want assisted dying for yourself, and be content to hang on to the bitter end, but that does not give you the right to impose your moral views on me and others who disagree."

WARNING: This is graphic. "The nurses would ask if they could do anything for her. She would put two fingers to her temple in the manner of a gun." Heather’s mum had a really good life...but a really bad death. No one should have to die in these conditions. Change the law.

After yesterday's historic vote, the Isle of Man is likely to become the first British Isles jurisdiction to legalise assisted dying. This is a huge victory for compassion, and wouldn't have been possible without the support of local campaigners. 🧵🧵🧵

The Royal College of Surgeons has voted to drop its opposition to assisted dying. The RCS should be praised for its constructive engagement in the assisted dying debate; a conversation that is becoming impossible for medics and parliament to ignore.

"He died a good death. Not the bad death he knew was going to come to him within the next few weeks. Geoff was forced to travel to Switzerland for a dignified death. He should have been able to die comfortably at home, surrounded by his loved ones.

“I’d do anything to get him out of the pain.” For honouring the wishes of her dying husband, 80 year old Mavis was arrested on suspicion of murder and locked in a cell for 30 hours. It’s time to investigate our broken laws, not innocent families.

Terminally ill Swarthmoor farmer, Mr Christopher John Case, ended his own life alone in his garage. Dying people deserve compassion, protection and the opportunity to talk openly with their doctor and loved ones about their wishes, but our cruel laws stand in the way.

“If you don’t agree with assisted dying, don’t use it yourself.” It's this simple. James’ wife had motor neurone disease and wanted the choice. "You know what the end result is going to be and all you’re trying to do is remove some of the pain, suffering and loss of dignity."

“I don’t even know that I would choose it. But what I would like is the option.” Well done to Australian lawmakers who said #YesToDignity . Assisted dying has been approved in every state. This is a tremendous victory for human rights.
