WHAT WE STAND FOR

My Death, My Decision is a grassroots movement for assisted dying reform. We want a compassionate law on assisted dying that permits a medically assisted death to adults of sound mind who are terminally ill or intolerably suffering. We believe reform is necessary to reduce the suffering of individuals who are close to death, and, just as importantly, to give choice to those with physical, incurable conditions who face years of constant pain or suffering that they find unbearable.

THE ASSISTED DYING INQUIRY

The Health and Social Care Committee has published its report on assisted dying. My Death, My Decision welcomes the report and urges parliament to act as soon as possible on assisted dying. The Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition have both said recently that they would give Parliamentary time to a new debate.

The report lays the foundations for change, Parliament must now act.

WHY WE'RE CAMPAIGNING

One person a week goes to Switzerland from the UK for an assisted death – more than twice as many as a few years ago. Families have to let someone they love travel  and die alone, or risk imprisonment for going with them. For many, it’s an impossibly difficult or expensive journey. We know there is a safe and compassionate alternative.

Nearly 90% of people want assisted dying reform for people who are terminally ill or intolerably suffering. Respect for choice and autonomy is what protects the most vulnerable amongst us. My Death, My Decision is calling for robust safeguards – if so many other countries can achieve this in a safe and legal manner, why can’t we?

It is time for change.
