Dignity.

Today, at 2pm a man passed away. He chose to do so. He had to travel from the UK to Switzerland in order to make it happen. His name was #BobCole. He had terminal cancer and wanted to leave on his terms. He should have been able to make that choice at home, with his family, with checks in place and the backing of doctors. We are human beings, we should have more compassion for people in his position and we need to change the LAW. Religions and beliefs should not be allowed to get in the way of a compassionate change to these outdated rules that do not have majority public backing. In a fair-minded society, rational arguments and discussions should be used to create a new series of laws that protect the rights of certain groups to a dignified exit from their one life. Discus.
