Esther Rantzen says she doesn’t have the strength to fly to Canada to seek lasting relief from her ever-advancing cancer, but she would if she could.
“I love Canada, but I think I will go to Switzerland and seek an assisted death if the illness starts to progress faster,” Rantzen, 84, said from her cottage in the New Forest in southern England.
“It was named the New Forest a thousand years ago by one of William the Conqueror’s sons. So we are quite a conservative country…. If we regard a thousand years as being quite new, you can see why it’s taking us a bit of time to reform our current law.”
