What a difficult decision to make.

Yes, so do I. Also, some people in a similar situation might not even have the Dignitas choice if they are unable to afford to travel abroad and to use this service.

Yes, I agree!

But what a pity he wasnt allowed to do it here.

Businessman Jeffrey Spector went with his family recently to Dignitas in Switzerland to end his life.

He had an inoperable tumour on his spine which would leave him paralysed from the neck down.

He had survived for 6 years but had recently gone into a decline and made the decision that this was the time to go. His brave family supported him.

How desperately sad. I admire him for this courage. RIP. flowers
