"I've heard somebody dying in pain in a hospice. There's a noise you make when you're in labour because you're in so much pain, and that's the sound the woman was making. Her relatives were weeping in the corridor... That's why assisted dying should be an option."
"Within the Catholic church, if someone is administered drugs with the intention of reducing pain, and as a side-effect that causes someone to die quicker, that's OK. It's not about prolonging life at all costs; it's about respecting the dignity of human life."
"Assisted dying is working well in other countries. It feels like another mark of civilised society and a compassionate way to give individuals control over their end-of-life decisions."
