So sorry Nori to hear that your husband has passed away this morning and I can imagine what you must be feeling. I too am 100% behind Dignity in Dying and joined some time ago after Pete died in the local hoppice not knowing who myself or the children were from all the drugs he was given. He asked one nurse when topping up the syringe if she could make it a good one…Unless someone has lost a loved one in this awful way it is so easy for them to support this cruel end of life mockery.
Sending my thoughts to you and your sons. Love Jenny xxx

I too am also 100% behind this ,ive witnessed far to many family members having a prolonged illness with no quality of life at all in various forms ,we are all resposible for our own lives and wishes if we have capacity to make these personal decisions and choices.
We should have the right too leave this earth with peace and dignity if that is what we want , my wonderful husband died 5 months ago unable move or talk and I do not want to endure what he went through ,losing a loved one is horrendous anyway for anyone ,to watch them suffer not being able to help them just about finishes you off x

Just read your email Raffy and what you have written is so true especially we should all have the right to leave this earth with peace and dignity… I can only believe that the people who do not agree with this have never seen a loved one die not knowing who they are or any of their family. Fading before your eyes and being told we’ll just keep topping you up with drugs even though you will never get better and you don’t have any choice in the matter. If there is no hope it’s the only humane thing left to do and let that person go as they wish. It makes me so angry to think that anyone other than the terminally ill person has a say in how anothers life should end, How long is it going to take for the powers that be to do the humane act for people suffering.Going for a walk now as I’m need some fresh air…

I was always a believer that where there was life there was hope. Until I watched my husband suffer in his last weeks. As @Raffy says it finishes you. The medication doing nothing to help him and his poor mind becoming more confused. Thankfully he was at home and I was with him until the end but I remember saying that if he was a dog I could put a stop to his suffering. That is how desperate i had become to stop the pain and believe me when I say I loved that man so very much and still do. If I was in this postion I would put a stop to it myself !!!

I’m behind it too. There is nothing humane in letting people suffer just so it will be a natural death. Not so natural anyway, when they have to administer a lot of drugs just to make it bearable. And as others have said, it kills you to see someone you love struggle and not be able to help.
I’m all for it, no one should have to suffer in any way and you should have a choice

Having watched my father being relentlessly coerced by a new consultant on the scene into agreeing to be switched to end of life care, I am 100% against it. My father was not a terminally ill patient and he wanted to live. He didn’t even have a diagnosis. They broke his spirit and forced him to take morphine and Midazolam. He resisted for as long as he could. There are a group of more than a hundred of us with the same experience. Just because it hasn’t happened to your loved ones, don’t think it doesn’t happen. And when it does, the authorities turn a blind eye. I am absolutely heartbroken by what they did to my father and will never recover from the sheer cruelty of it.
