One end of life option you may not be fully aware of is Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking, referred to as VSED.
It’s unlikely medical people will talk to you about this option to end your life if you are suffering but it is available to all and legal nationally. It takes end of life choice out of the medical setting and will result in your end days being spent among people of your choosing instead of surrounded by strangers and machines.
Compassion and Choices has launched a new campaign to make people aware of this peaceful end of life option called Peace at Life’s End Anywhere and offers a pamphlet explaining this options and a frequently asked questions sheet to clarify for those who still have questions.
