Earlier this month, 80-year-old Geoff Whaley chose to end his life at Dignitas clinic in Switzerland. But, in an open letter posted to MPs written before his death - Geoff said the final weeks of his life had been blighted by visits from social services and police after his wife faced criminal charges for assisting him in his journey to Switzerland. As his family continue to petition for a change in the law on assisted suicide, we’re joined by Geoff’s wife Ann and daughter Alix.

Such a courageous and devoted family. Of course any of us would want to do whatever we could to ease the suffering of our loved ones. Assisted death often happens under the radar in the form of palliative care. Medications are increased to eliminate pain, anxiety, sleeplessness, etc.. Side effects suppress vitals and people slip away. It may not be as dramatic as planning ahead, but there can be many checks and balances built in to protect those who may be unable to decide for themselves for whatever reason. Often we hang on to to our ill loved one for our sake, not theirs. It's easy to judge wrongly if you've never witnessed a situation like this first hand.
The law should be changed on assisted dying who would like 2 die in pain or take your own like legally you would nt let an animal suffer but you let humans suffer in pain
