- Actress Susan Hampshire, who gave up acting to care for her dying husband and two older sisters, has urged MPs to rewrite “cruel” laws which ban assisted dying. The star of TV dramas The Forsyte Saga and Monarch of the Glen said that a “democratic, civilised” country would allow conscientious clinicians to provide compassionate care at the end of life.
Former MP and Cabinet Minister, Nadine Dorries opposes assisted dying and says it is asking doctors to kill. In a Daily Mail article this week, she describes how her husband wanted to go to Dignitas after a bowel cancer diagnosis in 2019 but because he didn't have long enough to live, he didn't qualify. In the end, Nadine’s husband died at home in peace with his family around him, which Nadine Dorries says, was where he wanted to be.
Laws allowing assisted dying have been passed in New Zealand, Australia, three US states, Canada, Holland, Switzerland and Belgium.

It never ceases to amaze me how in this regard we are kinder to our animals than we are to ourselves....
There is always the subway
@mark However, I completely agree with Susan Hampshire and your main point.
People have different reasons.
@@jacksoncrateHave a thought for the staff who have to clear up, finding the missing bits amongst the equipment, been there.
@@normanchristie4524 true. mine was a joke really
Wonderful to see Susan Hampshire.
Why is this even a debate?
In Australia we have assisted dying, I 100% agree about having the choice.
Giving consent for a death that is pain and fear free is one of few privileges, a cruel to be kind perspective but a honest one.
Yep - it`s called FREEDOM !
This shouldn't even be a debate, if your beloved pet is ill and going to suffer, you are advised to euthanase in the pets best interest but humans have to suffer till the end !? And I've seen it with my own eyes
You are legally responsible at age 18 for whatever happens in your life.
Why can we not take responsibility for our deaths ?
Why do we have to hand the responsibility to government ?
I'm single with no relatives so why should I not be able to make my own decision.
The legislation is generally made for a very small minority.
Pain is NOT the only issue.
Well said Rob!
Everybody is a individual, everybody has different circumstances, and views , it should be down to the individual, and capacity
It’s wrong that government has this power over our bodies. We should be allowed to make the choice.
Also the chemotherapy might have prolonged his life a little bit but as someone whose had chemo before I can tell you it would of made the quality of life horrendous. The reason his death was peaceful and pain free was because he chose not to have chemo.
Not government, though they take any Bill through Parliament. However, we have to question what expertise MPs have to debate this.
People still die in pain today (my husband did) you're very lucky to have a peaceful death but not everyone dies peacefully so in my mind everyone should have a choice!
Yep - we should ALL have the choice - it`s OUR life - not the MP`s,not the judges,not the doctors or the clerics - OURS !
Well done GMB! Another instance of giving a corrupt politician access to a large platform.
If someone is going through extreme pain they should be allowed to go.
She is still so beautiful.
You can't have assisted dying but it's OK not to resuscitate
susan is truly marvelous.
why do we need to hear Nadine's view on anything? She was a paid MP who never bothered to turn up to parliament or her constituency, why is she so available now?
Life is quality of life, the story about the elderly lady in the home is the exception to the rule, not the rule. Assisted dying is humanity in action if somebody is in agonising pain. Yes strict legislation around it. As the lady said it’s about choice. If people have a choice on abortion which is their Body, then people should have a choice on assisted dying which is also their body. Their choice.
MORPHINE...they dont eat or drink when they die very often,
My body, my choice. By all means have legal proofs so no-one is knocking off Granny for her $ss - but M6 life is MY business.
Agree, my body, my choice. if people worry about being knocked off they should be able to have it written explicitly on their medical records - "I do not want treatment to be stopped that could prolong my life". Other people should not have to suffer for those people.
My mother, Motor Neurone Disease, vowed that she wouldn't die in hospital. She wakened up in a hospital ward tubed. She pulled them out twice. Doctors decided that she had made her choice and didn't impose them again. Basically she then starved to her death. You would be charged if you did this to your pet animal.
If members of the British Commonwealth - Australia,New Zealand & Canada - who have a justice system built on the UK model can have the right to end THEIR lives as they choose - why can`t people in the UK have the same RIGHT ?!
Loved her as Fleur in Fortsythe Saga.
I’m waiting for the day this will become a hot button issue in the U.S. it’s only a matter of time.
This may sound cruel but what i got from this interview is we shouldn't do it because Nadine has a problem with it like when she said he wanted too go but then she was too upset maybe he just stayed around too please her and this seems a theme with a lot of things i see Nadine in if she doesn't like it then we should just not do it but if it was her in that position and she wanted it we should have all stopped what we was doing too make sure she was OK feels too much double standards with her am sorry just how i feel.
Dorries sounds reasonable here. Hard to believe she's down the political rabbit hole of complete BS..
