New documentary on assisted dying airs tonight (Monday 13th Nov). It features our friend @PhilNewby5 and our @KillPhilPodcast gets a mention too. Read more about it here: express.co.uk/life-style/hea…
I highly recommend watching A Time To Die (10.45pm tonight ITV1 or ITVX). A heartbreaking documentary that tells the stories of five people who want access to assisted dying - and follows one to Dignitas. express.co.uk/life-style/hea…

After a long battle, Portugal passed a law on Friday legalising euthanasia for people in great suffering and with incurable diseases, joining just a handful of countries around the world…

"I miss her and will always do so, but my priceless solace is knowing that my wife died as she wished: calmly, painlessly, and with me kissing and cuddling her."
Very positive to see @itvcorrie and @PeterAsh_85 (with expert support from @mndassoc) tackle the topic and help raise awareness around #MND mndassociation.org/coronatio…

Well done to Phil for continuing to speak so eloquently. I believe he is right. The UK, following international examples, can enact a safe and compassionate law that offers choice at the end of life whilst protecting the vulnerable.
Co-host of the Kill Phil pod, @PhilNewby5 was interviewed by @PrueLeith and @danny__kruger for their programme on assisted dying. It airs tonight. Well worth a watch!

Will a trip across North America help @PrueLeith & her son @Danny__Kruger resolve their differences on an incredibly divisive topic, assisted dying?
Watch Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip tonight at 9pm.

What happens when you disagree with your son over assisted dying? Watch 'Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip' on Thursday 16th February at 9pm on @Channel4 #PrueAndDanny
.@PrueLeith supports assisted dying. Her son, @Danny__Kruger, is against it. Can a transatlantic trip, meeting people on both sides of the debate, resolve their differences?

.@soniasodha has a point. But any law coming here will be for the terminally ill (like in the USA, Australia, NZ, Switzerland). So the same risk isn’t there.
Brillaint news this enquiry into #AssistedDying is taking place! The public, organisations and campaign groups are all being asked by @UKParliament to share their views – whatever side of the debate you're on, if you've got one, make sure you submit it! committees.parliament.uk/com…

Phil Newby talks to @aliciakearns about why he is campaigning for a fair #AssistedDying law in the UK. Phil talks about his "needless suffering" and his wish to choose how and when he dies “when life has no value and a huge amount of suffering”. bit.ly/3GffhqO

"I want to shorten my death, shorten my suffering, and release the burden of the people watching me go through this needlessly."
Powerful words from @PhilNewby5 to @aliciakearns
Phil is fighting for the choice to die on his own terms.

A great honour to be joined by the inspiring @PhilNewby5 today as we discussed his campaign for #AssistedDying.
To shorten suffering, and death, is a choice surely we as a society can give to those whose bodies now fail, and even torture, them.

"It may not be something you decide to do in the end, but having it there is a comfort." - Wise words from @ToniaAntoniazzi
For terminally ill people, an assisted dying law would act as a safety net.
It could guarantee a dignified death if their symptoms became unbearable.
