Ultimately I reflect on 3 of 4 grandparents and dad in law who had utterly miserable deaths despite v best efforts. I could not insist they had to suffer.

My mother suffered and died in agony. Despite "hospice at home". She joined Dignitas but didn't have a spare £15k
An estimated 20 terminally ill people in the UK die in unrelieved pain each day, according to a study by the independent Office of Health Economics (OHE).
According to its research, to be presented to MPs on Tuesday, one in four people receiving palliative care in England have “unmet pain needs”.

There’s nobody in journalism whose integrity and judgment I value more than that of Paul Webster, who retired last week as editor of the Observer. If you’ve valued Observer journalism in recent years please read his X thread about the Scott Trust’s potential sale of the Observer.
