Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith calls for assisted dying to become key issue ahead of Scots elections
elections.Prue, whose brother David died in agony from cancer, said it was inhumane to rob the terminally ill of the choice to end their own life.David, who spent eight months, growing progressively worse from bone cancer, desperately wanted to die and end his suffering.He spent the last weeks of his life fluctuating between a semi-comatose state and unbearable pain.Prue said: “That is no way to treat a human being. Whose life is it anyway? How dare anyone keep a person alive, when they are so ill and they are going to die and they want to die.“Dying like that, in so much indignity and pain is monstrous.
