My constituent Mark shared the story of his sister, who sadly died from a rare form of terminal cancer two years ago. Despite receiving the very best palliative care, her pain could not be relieved and she begged her relatives to help her to end her life, which obviously they could not do. Harjean’s father suffered a long and painful death as his body gave way to the point that he could not even swallow. That was not how he would have chosen to end his days, and his family had to share his suffering, as there was no other option.
