Been following this story since I watched a documentary on Tony's legal battle to be allowed to die with dignity (for want of a better phrase). Both Tony and his wife, Jane, came across as sincere and pragmatic about their respective lives.

R.I.P.

Sad indeed, that he had to force the issue.

Saw some of the debate in NZ around euthanasia. I think it's something that you will never get any side to change their views. And whilst parliaments across the world uphold any form of religion as a means to get voted, then it is unlikely it will be allowed in many places.

Such a shame indeed.

Didn't follow too closely other than headlines after earlier reading as it was a case that made me feel too sad, and found the images of his pain too affecting. But definitely a case where rest in peace is the only thing left to say, peace was the pursuit.

i'm glad it's over for him.

also quite glad that being Dutch, I would have access to assisted dying should the need arise.

i admire the efforts of Terry Pratchett around the whole dying with dignity discussion.
