From John Miles
The claims for pain control made by Baroness Finlay were not my wife’s experience (28 May, p 26). She died recently after a 15-year battle with cancer and listened to many similar claims from the medical profession.
In practice she frequently preferred to suffer the pain rather than endure the side effects of the many drugs tried on her.
I think many objectors to assisted dying will change their view when they become sufferers. Whose business is it anyway?
