Time to let go

-

I WELCOME the calls to legalise suicide clinics in Guernsey (Mail). However, once again old fossils at the BMA are against it. Will the politician­s be brave enough to pass this law while the powerful medical lobby say otherwise?

We must stop seeing death as a failure and allow people to be released from their suffering.

My husband died at Dignitas last year, with me holding his hand. It was a ‘good’ death.

But instead of having to go to Switzerlan­d, he should have been allowed to die in his own home surrounded by all those who loved him — that would have been a ‘great’ death.
