'Mute and frozen witnesses, we watched Death take this strong manβmy fatherβand shake him out until he was nothing.'
Andrew Denton
'They choose voluntary assisted dying because they want a good death and not a bad death. Because, dying, they want an end to their suffering, not its indefinite continuation and worsening.'
Richard Flanagan
