Assisted dying made legal in UK ‘within two years’

I can see little downside to it, weighing it up.

I'm all for this. If it was me will a terminal illness that would cause a long slow painful death, I'd want to end it early.

I agree but I cant see how they will get the legality sorted out.

My uncle has been fighting for this for over 30 years - he is on his second donor kidney, has had chronic rheumatism since a bike accident, when he was around 30, and he has had diabetes for the last 20 years.

He is still fighting to live, but he wants to be able to decide when enough is enough.
