Widow Fights for Assisted Dying Bill
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
Barbara Shooter, a sixty-nine-year-old widow, advocates for Britains assisted dying bill after her own motor neurone disease diagnosis. Her husband, a celebrated railway executive, ended his life at a Swiss clinic in 2022. Now battling the disease, Barbara criticizes House of Lords members for filibustering the bill, which risks collapse if debates drag on. The bill, if passed, would allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales with under six months to live to seek assisted death after checks by multiple professionals. Barbara fears becoming a burden and vows to head back to Switzerland if needed.
