Personal Journey to Euthanasia Advocacy

The author's exploration of euthanasia is deeply personal, rooted in the trauma of his mother's suicide during his childhood. This experience shaped his understanding of the relationship between suicide and euthanasia, leading him to observe shifts in societal attitudes towards assisted dying, particularly in the Netherlands. As laws liberalized, it became evident that what was happening in the Netherlands could influence similar movements globally, including in the UK. The author emphasizes the complexities and ethical dilemmas associated with assisted dying, cautioning that the acceleration of such laws may lead to unintended consequences.
