The recent case of an older woman ending her life at Dignitas because she couldn’t adapt to the modern world is yet more evidence of the need to maintain legal protection around assisted dying. The lady concerned was not terminally ill or severely disabled and yet Dignitas relaxed their own rules and helped her on her way. Not Dead Yet UK is deeply concerned that this demonstrates yet again that there is a slippery slope and we are definitely on it.
