UK Woman Chooses Assisted Dying in Switzerland After Son's Death
Wendy Duffy, a 56-year-old woman from the United Kingdom, has decided to end her life through assisted dying in Switzerland following the death of her only son, Marcus. Despite being physically healthy, Duffy has chosen this path to avoid the decline of old age and to depart life on her own terms. Her son, Marcus, died at the age of 23 after choking on a cherry tomato while asleep. His organs were donated, providing some comfort to Duffy, but she has struggled with grief since his passing. Assisted suicide is illegal in the UK, prompting Duffy to travel to Switzerland, where she will administer the lethal dose herself. She has informed her family of her decision and plans to listen to a final song by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars as she dies.
