‘I could have chosen assisted suicide, I’m glad I didn’t’: pancreatic cancer survivor’s story

Stephanus Breytenbach was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given just 2 weeks to live. He has now outlived that prognosis by three years. He lives in Victoria, Australia, where Voluntary Assisted Dying is legal. Had he chosen it, his children would now be orphaned, as his wife’s cancer later returned and she died. He’s told politicians at Holyrood and Westminster why they should think again before legalising assisted suicide.
