Euthanasia
Euthanasia is the intentional killing by act or omission of a dependent human being for his or her alleged benefit. The voluntary euthanasia society( A.K.A Exit) seeks to change the law on euthanasia as it believes that people should be permitted to choose when they want to die, if they are suffering from a terminal illness, to help take away the fear of the process of dying and to stop needless suffering.
Last week, lords have been debating right to die plans. Lord Joffe’s bill would introduce new drugs which doctors could prescribe to patients suffering from terminal illness. Exit strongly back this debate, and are continually protesting for the law to be changed. Exit worked closely with Diane Pretty in her long battle with parliament to be euthanized. She suffered from motor neuron disease, and wanted to die with dignity. With help from exit, The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg heard Diane’s appeal and permitted her to be euthanized. This is only one case exit worked with, and they want to continue helping people suffering from terminal illness to die the way they want.
