Dear Friend,
New polling published by The Guardian shows that more people believe that it is acceptable to break the law to help a loved one who wants the choice of assisted dying than those who do not. The idea of breaking the law is never taken lightly. This shows just how out of touch the blanket ban on assisted dying is and the lack of respect the public has for the current law.
Nobody wants to see their loved ones suffer at the end of life. But they shouldn’t have to break the law to help them have the death they want. Without safe and regulated end-of-life choice, dying people and their families are having to make these impossible decisions. Compassion should not be a crime.
We’re campaigning for change, Friend. But we can’t do it without your help. Will you donate to Dignity in Dying today and support the movement for compassion?
The current law is forcing dying people to choose between suffering, taking matters into their own hands, or travelling abroad to access an assisted death on their own. A cruel, impossible choice that they have to make alone, or their families risk prosecution. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
We’re campaigning for an assisted dying law that doesn’t criminalise compassion or force dying people into dangerous, lonely deaths behind closed doors. A law that says yes to dignity and yes to choice.
Friend, law change is closer than ever. Will you help fund the campaign to stop criminalising dying people and their loving families?
Thank you for everything you do to support the campaign. Together, we will stop this injustice.
