Just seen Gyles Brandreth discussing this on morning TV. Very sad for Esther and her family. I totally understand where she's coming from.

Very sad.
You shouldn’t need to travel to a different country to be freed from the pain of dying.

Esther Rantzen has cancer & now joined Dignitas
 

…

She apparently stood by and did nothing despite knowing what SaVile was up to

I've heard even worse than that, her husband comes into the rumours too. Obviously I don't know if it's true. But she was the person behind "childline" and we know how Saville disguised his goings on behind being a charitable icon.

Who killed Jill Dando?

[Ester Rantzen's call for the legalisation of assisted dying,
an issue the paper has been following closely.
It says the issue has taken a step forward
after the government said
"it would allow MPs to decide on changing the law".]

I've never understood the need for Dignitas.

Seems to me it's a place people go to announce their suicide and pay ££££s for the privilege. :rolleyes:

I'll NEVER promote suicide but a 2L bottle of vodka and 100 sleeping pills will do the job same way.

BUT PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.

Life is so precious. :)

[The Express writes Dame Esther Rantzen,
a strong campaigner for assisted dying,
is "disappointed" that MPs who
heard evidence on the matter in parliament
did not push for a debate for a change in the law.]

I want this legalised in the UK but don't trust Brits. They will use it to make money and innocent people will end up losing their lives.

[Dame Esther Rantzen has told the
Daily Express she is "fighting for my family and
lots of others" ahead of a debate in Parliament
on assisted dying.

The journalist and campaigner, who has
stage four lung cancer,
is campaigning for people who have
physical illnesses,
and a life expectancy of six months or less,
to have the right to choose when they die.]

I personally think that it's a Human right for them to be able to choose if they want to die or not when they're terminally ill.

…and also, you shouldn’t need to have a certain financial wealth, which atm is more how it is and legalising is the only way to change that, as I can see…
