Dame Esther’s cancer has taken a toll on her family lately.
Last week, her daughter made a highly emotional appearance on Loose Women where she discussed how her mum received the diagnosis ‘no one wants to hear’.

‘But how does anyone ever feel when a loved one is diagnosed It’s confusing, it’s bamboozling.’
While Rebecca found it ‘a little surprising’ that her mum had opted for assisted dying, but understands her decision.

What is Dignitas?
Dignitas is a Swiss nonprofit organisation providing physician-assisted suicide to members with terminal illness or severe physical or mental illness, supported by independent Swiss doctors.
The average cost is £10,000 and it does carry a risk of prosecution for anyone assisting or accompanying a loved one.
Under the Suicide Act 1961, this is a crime with a maximum sentence of 14 years in England and Wales

The presenter added to BBC’s that she’s calling as she feels it is ‘important that the law catches up with what the country wants.’
Dame Esther also previously told Loose Women: ‘I don’t know if I’ll live long enough to see this debated in parliament but if you do agree with me, please, please make your views known to your MP.
‘And for those that disagree – maybe on religious principles or maybe because they’re professionally absorbed in palliative care and believe that this goes against what they practice in medicine – can I just say, all we ask for is the choice.’
Currently, assisted suicide is banned in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
