I had a mate who died from throat cancer in front of his kids, the whole thing was traumatising and my mate just wanted to go quietly. I would be of the same opinion.
When you hold a relative?s hand in so much pain from cancer or other you?d all be in favour of it believe me.Quote:

I am concerned that passing the assisted dying bill into law will do nothing to address the inadequacies of palliative care. Often those with a terminal diagnosis need twenty four hour care yet will be in a home where most of the residents are relatively mobile/active. There are really strong arguments on both sides of this debate. It has to be down to individual consciences.
As Army says above, I really don't want to go through what I've seen others go through, nor would I wish it on anyone else. Strongly for it. We wouldn't let animals suffer the way some of us have to.Quote:

They should have had a Referendum before deciding to do their own thing anyway.
I am in favour, having witnessed several family members suffering needlessly.
