UK - Woman opts for assisted dying

Quote:

A healthy former palliative care nurse has ended her life at a Swiss euthanasia clinic after describing old age as “awful”.

Gill Pharaoh, 75, passed away at the Lifecircle clinic in Basel, Switzerland, where she was joined by John, her partner of 25-years. She spent her final hours wandering through the old part of the city, and dining on the banks of the Rhine.
My emotional response is that it seemed to be rather early to consider assisted suicide but I'm not in a position to judge.

According to her partner, due to ill health her quality of life was low. I can understand that she didn't want to get worse and worse until the point that she was no longer in a position to make the decision and follow through on it.
