Assisted dying UK: “Why I don’t regret taking my dad to Dignitas”

My dad was only around the 50th person from the UK to go to Dignitas

As part of the process the doctor wanted to meet dad, and he made it feel normal and like this was the right thing for him to do

I’m glad we were all there with him: some people travel to Dignitas alone because of the fear of prosecution

When we traveled home, the person who checked us in at the airport asked if we were travelling with anyone else, as there was obviously someone missing

People could have extra weeks, or even months, with loved ones if assisted dying was legal in the UK

Dianne took her terminally ill dad to Dignitas to die. Now, she is campaigning for assisted dying to become legal in the UK.
