Telling personal stories can be extremely powerful. Each one is a painful reminder that our current law is broken and needs to change.
After I watched my mother suffer a cruel and inhumane death from terminal cancer, I decided I would do everything I can to change the law.
I want to live as fully as possible in my remaining time, without the fear of a painful death hanging over me.
I know that the time will come when there is no more effective treatment available and the end may well be undignified and painful.
Bob Cole was one of our most active campaigners who, in August 2015, travelled to Dignitas after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
My son Nigel had the hereditary degenerative neurological disorder, Huntington’s Disease.
Andy and Peter Squires helped their mother travel to Dignitas so that she could have the assisted death she wanted.
Right-to-die campaigner Debbie Purdy won a landmark ruling to clarify the law on assisted dying.
Diane had motor neurone disease and desperately wanted a doctor to help her to die.
Knowing that John would be in control of his death was a tremendous source of comfort for me as well as for John.
