Jenny Carathers watched her partner die with horrible pains from cancer which had metastasized to his bones. Now, having been diagnosed with the same disease herself, she is desperate for Britain to change the law to allow euthanasia which would give her a more peaceful death.

“I saw my partner die of psychosis and it looks like I will have the same future. We need this56-year-old Carathers said, referring to the bill, recalling her partner “screaming in bed” in his final days.

“I am now terminally ill. I have bone metastases and have a pretty good idea of ​​what might happen. It’s very scarysaid the 56-year-old, from Bath in south-west England.

In the House of Commons, the debate on the law that would allow euthanasiaon an issue that divides both public opinion and British MPs. Among other things, the bill provides that those adults who have been diagnosed with less than six months to live and have the brakes intact, will have the right to end their lives with medical assistance.

A vote on the bill is expected later today on a law that, if passed, would bring about one of the biggest social reforms in a generation.

Carathers, a former healthcare assistant, was one of hundreds who gathered outside Parliament today hoping to convince politicians that those suffering should have the right to choose to die.

Marked by torture what her partner experienced and fearful of the impact it will have on her children to relive what her partner went through, Carathers said the legalization of assisted dying will allow her to live out her final days without fear, and that choice should to be offered to those suffering from an incurable disease and who are in the final stage.

She said her children fully support her wishes and believes the safeguards in the bill – which requires two independent doctors’ opinions and the consent of a High Court judge to sign off on giving a patient a lethal dose of drugs – it would not allow anyone to receive assisted dying without reaching the final stages of life, one of the fears of the bill’s critics.

As he waited nervously in Parliament Square: “I am asking them to really consider giving us some dignity“, he said.

A few minutes ago it became known that the majority of British MPs were in favor of continuing the legislative process for the bill to legalize voluntary assisted death.
