Good morning

 

Coronavirus has woken society up to what terminally ill people face on a daily basis: a sense of powerlessness, a lack of control, fear and anxiety over an uncertain future.  It is time for society to take an honest look at the laws on assisted dying in the UK. 

 

In our new book, Last Rights: The Case for Assisted Dying, we hand the microphone to dying people and their families. By focussing on their experiences, we explore the agonising reality facing terminally ill people and explore how we need to reframe dying in this country. 

 

Today I can offer an exclusive 20% discount to you, our dedicated supporters, when you use the code LR35 to buy a hard copy or LR39 to buy an ebook. 

 

There’s still a lot of work to do to change the law. Last Rights: The Case for Assisted Dying exposes the hypocrisy of the arguments that oppose progress and sets out a new standard of dying fit for the 21st century; one built on compassion and honesty, not fear and paternalism.

 

“There exists physical pain beyond the reach of morphine. Terminally ill patients of sound mind but suffering unbearable agony should be empowered to choose, legally and peacefully, the moment of their death. The religious convictions or paternalistic instincts of doctors are irrelevant. So argues this wise and beautifully poised book. It makes its powerful case for assisted dying with compassion, decency and moral depth."

Ian McEwan, author

 

Our aim is for Last Rights to start an honest conversation about dying up and down the country and we’ll let you know how you can use it to make the case for change. A change we need to see now. A change that future generations will be grateful for. A change that can secure our Last Rights. 

My deepest thanks for your support for the campaign. It’s needed now more than ever. 

 

Kind regards, 

 

Sarah Wootton

Chief Executive
