Silvia Stefanoni // Chief Executive of HelpAge International, 2013
The world is rapidly ageing – people over 60 years of age already exceed children under five, and by 2050 they will outnumber children under 15.
Thomas Nagel // London Review of Books, 2011
Many of us would like to have some control over the time and manner of our deaths, should we find ourselves in a condition so hopeless that there is no point in going on...
Woody Allen // The Guardian, 2012
There’s no advantage to ageing. You don’t get wiser, you don’t get more mellow, you don’t see life in a more glowing way. You have to fight your body decaying, and you have less options
George McNamara // Head of Policy at the Alzheimer’s Society, 2013
It’s important to give people with dementia choice and control over their life whenever possible
Dr James Beattie // Cardiologist, 2014
Elderly and frail patients should sometimes be allowed to die rather than receive treatments that prolong but do not improve their lives...Society these days is much less familiar with death, and is most reluctant to accept mortality
