About us

Our vision is for everyone approaching the end of their life to have the right to a choice to die with dignity.

Dignity in Dying:

• Promotes patient choice at the end of life
• Campaigns for a change in the law to permit medically assisted dying within strict safeguards
• Believes that a change in the law will give terminally ill people more control at the end of life and enable people to keep living longer than they might otherwise have done
• Wants to see greater openness around the process of dying and better support for medical staff
• Is the leading supplier of advance decisions (living wills) in the UK
