Following the death of Jeffrey Spector- the 54-year-old father-of three with terminal cancer- the debate over the ‘right to die’ has once again been ignited.
Spector chose to die at Swiss assisted suicide clinic Dignitas with his family surrounding him.
The night before he passed away, he sat and had a ‘last supper’ with his family.
Hours before his death he said: “My family disagree, but I believe this is in their best interests. Friends and most of all my family have urged me not to go through with it.
“Rather than go late I am jumping the gun. I call it the least worst option. What I am doing is in the best long term interests of my family- they disagree with that of course but they do accept I have my own opinion.”
His loved ones responded: “As a family we supported and respected Jeffrey's decision 100 per cent.”
Pro-life supporters have spoken out in defence of preserving life in relation to similar stories, but would you support your loved one if they decided to follow a similar path?
