As both a Pagan Minister, and as a thinking, rational human being, I feel that the option to Die With Dignity, when we choose, is a basic human right.
Therefore, given that the UK is only now beginning to consider this option (so many years too late for some of my loved ones), I pray that if and when you are polled on the subject you do the right thing - for humanity's sake. Allowing someone to choose when to pass on is not in contravention of your vows, nor should it even trouble you on a personal belief level. It is administering the best medication for someone who is beyond chemicals - and prayer. Please, help these people by supporting their decision.
Thank you so much for your valuable time.
Yours truly, and with respect to your individual beliefs and faiths,
