Dignity in Dying have co-oped the idea that 'assisted suicide' is death with a choice. We don't agree. It's a nice fantasy but the reality looks a little different. Here's the reality: When assisted suicide is legalised, the cost of good medical care at the end of life goes up. It's expensive to care for someone at the end of life, it's much cheaper to bump them off. If that sounds alarmist, and you're thinking it could never happen, you need to scroll down and look at 'Other Countries'.
We want choice. We want the choice to live until you die. To live with dignity, by being cared for no matter the cost. To have the human dignity of not feeling like a burden because you're sick, old or disabled. We want patience to choose what their care looks like. And make no mistake about it Dignity in Dying want to take these choices away from you.
