My accomplice died in my arms in a hospice. The final week of her life introduced me very comfortable recollections which have sustained me prior to now 11 years. So I used to be adamantly towards assisted dying (Letters, 6 April). Then somebody identified to me that anybody on this nation has entry to assisted dying if they will afford the price of Dignitas. Which gave me pause for thought. After which in 2011 I noticed a play on the Pleasance theatre, subsequently produced on BBC Radio 4, referred to as An Intuition for Kindness, by Chris Larner. My thoughts was modified fully. If you’re on this subject and also you get an opportunity to see this play, or hear a recording of it, then accomplish that. I can not do it justice within the restricted area I’ve right here.

Liz McInnes’s letter highlights exactly why Henry Marsh is correct to name for a public inquiry into assisted dying. There isn’t any proof, from these international locations that permit it, for the declare she makes about coercion of the susceptible. If I’m unsuitable about that, opponents of a legislation can show it within the inquiry, certainly?
