No longer is assisted dying a medical privilege reserved only for the terminally ill. Rather, the debate is much broader and encompasses older people too.
Laura’s Choice
In December 2019 and inspired by the David Goodall Story’ 91-year old Laura Henkel travelled to Switzerland to die. She, too, thought she had lived long enough. She had long since decided that a care home was ‘not for her’.
Laura’s daughter, Cathy Henkel, and granddaughter Sam Lara, made a feature documentary about Laura’s decision to die in Switzerland. The film is called ‘Laura’s Choice’.
