Good afternoon

As a committed Dignity in Dying supporter, I’d like to invite you to a one-off virtual event
[[link removed]] about the book we launched back in June - Last Rights: The Case for Assisted Dying . Since then we’ve (virtually) taken the book to more than 40 places around the
UK from Nottingham to Cardiff, from Leeds to Kent.



Now you can join us on Friday 11th December at 3pm
[[link removed]] for a very special event featuring Dignity in Dying Chief Executive, Sarah Wootton , in conversation with author Alison Jean Lester , who has recently published a memoir on her mother’s death, and long-time
Dignity in Dying campaigner, Ann Whaley , whose husband Geoffrey died at Dignitas in 2019. Join us for Last Rights: What should dying look like in the 21st Century?

Last Rights: The Case for Assisted Dying , co-authored by Sarah Wootton and Lloyd Riley of Dignity in Dying, is a call
to arms for society to take an honest look at how we die in the UK. The pandemic
has exposed the deep flaws in society’s relationship with death and dying and
demonstrated that radical reform is needed to put people at the very centre of
decisions about their death. Last Rights demonstrates that death and dying is
everybody’s business and calls on readers to demand better for future
generations.



Alison Jean Lester is the author of Absolutely Delicious: A Chronicle of Extraordinary Dying, a moving tribute to her mother Valerie which explores the importance of
communication when faced with death, and offers a window on how dying can be
better approached if we are prepared to confront it honestly.



Ann Whaley's experience of police intervention for supporting her husband,
Geoffrey, to end his life at the time and in the manner of his choosing further
painfully illustrates the failings of and harms caused by the current blanket
ban on assisted dying. Ann is now a committed campaigner for a change in the law
to enable people like Geoffrey to die on their own terms in this country, and to
stop the criminalisation of compassion.

Please join us at 3pm on Friday 11th December
[[link removed]] on Zoom to hear these three distinct voices discuss what their experiences have
taught them about death and dying, and what a good death should look like in the
21st century.



I hope to see you there.



Best wishes,





Sadie Kempner
