I'll be watching the progress of the Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill with interest, it's one of those debates that I think most people will have a position on.

The Church have voiced their opposition to the bill, which isn't a surprise as anything else would probably be seen as a kind of support, I wonder how representative their views are of the public?

Personally I feel lucky not to have witnessed the kind of suffering these articles describe, I can't imagine what it must be like to watch a loved one slowly come to the end of their life in pain.

I am very much in favour of this option being available to those who choose it, I try to live my life with some dignity and I would like it to end in a similar manner if at all possible.
