Letter: Living wills and assisted dying

Published 31 August 2016

From Celia Berrell

Clare Wilson describes resistance to legalised assisted suicide (23 July, p 16). Is this by those to whom selfish love of an ideal is worth more than unselfish love for someone who is suffering? Soon, I hope my human rights will include having the legal choice to end my own suffering, if needed.
