We need assisted dying vote after report – Rantzen

Following a recent report on assisted dying, television presenter and charity founder Esther Rantzen has called for a vote on the matter.

Rantzen argued that the report highlighted the need for a change in legislation to allow for assisted dying in certain circumstances. She emphasized the importance of allowing individuals to make their own choices when it comes to end-of-life care.

“The report clearly shows that there is a demand for assisted dying among those who are suffering and terminally ill,” Rantzen said. “It is time for parliament to listen to the voices of those who are directly affected by this issue and to consider a vote on assisted dying.”

Rantzen’s comments come amid ongoing debate and controversy surrounding the topic of assisted dying. While some argue that it is a compassionate choice for those facing unbearable suffering, others raise concerns about the potential for abuse and the implications for vulnerable individuals.

As the discussion continues, Rantzen remains firm in her belief that a vote on assisted dying is necessary to address the needs and wishes of those who are suffering. “We owe it to these individuals to have a thoughtful and informed debate on this important issue,” she concluded.
