Opting for an assisted end isn't about dying, it's about having a legal, moral right to be able to have choice when you need it rather than having no choice at all. I will answer any questions you have as best I can from my own experience. Some of us will be faced with a terminal illness which may impact on our decision to make the choice to either carry on living or not. Some of us may be faced w
ith having to live in chronic pain which takes away our ability to enjoy everyday living. Some of us we may have had a terrible accident which see's us living in a world that we dont understand and no longer wish to be a part of. However you arrive at this point you may be faced with wanting to take control of when you want to call time. At the moment the Law does not give us the right to choose when this time comes, instead it forces us to live, no matter what the circumstances are, with quantity of life at all costs, with liitle consideration for quality. This is unacceptable for many of us. There has been plenty of media coverage in recent years with people becoming more and more concerned about the fact that they are being denied this choice. More and more of us want to have control over our end of life demise. The thought for some being made to live through the hell of Dementia, or becoming sick with a terminal illness or having to cope through each day with the torment of chronic pain is not how they want to live. My mother Jackie Meacock first tried to end her life and failed, eventually travelling to Dignitas where she had the peaceful passing she wanted. She was lucky enough to have the support and love of her family but there are many people who dont have that support or perhaps are too afraid to say how they really feel or what they want to their loved ones for fear of upsetting them or being misunderstood. This page is for anyone who wants to know about anything to do with end of life choices, or just wants to read about other peoples experiences. Please show your support by liking this page and sharing. The more people that support this the more the Government will have to look at the issue of end of life choice on Assisted Dying and bring it back onto the Political agenda and keep it there until it is legalised. We will all face the end of our life; Some of us want to be able to say when that will be, given the circumstances they face and to be able to choose a quality of their life over quantitiy.
