very sad for her friends and family. I really wish this option was available here in the UK though

Very sad but I agree that it is good that she was able to end her life on her own terms at a time of her choosing with full legal support.

This made me so sad but also if I’m honest, grateful she had the option.

Bless her. What a wonderful lady and I’m so pleased she was able to choose when she slipped away. Euthanasia should be a right for everyone in a civilised society.

This is so sad. I'd rather there was a cure for her. But there's not so we have to think about the next best option and that is having the power to decide ourselves. I personally believe we have huge survival instincts so thing have to be unbearable to choose this option. But it should be there as an option.

it is considered CRUEL to keep animals alive and in pain. but human life is preserved despite it CAUSING pain. this law is humane. I don't understand why we can't have it in the UK. Am already planning how to do it myself when the time comes.
