“I’d like to see medically assisted dying, with the drug being self-administered so that the patient is in control and can change their mind right up to the last minute' 🔵 emily_cope1 interviews PrueLeith
“I’ve always been an interfering woman,” explains Leith. “My brother was in agony before his death, and the hospital seemed determined to keep him alive no matter how much he suffered. I remember asking one of his nurses whether they could give him more morphine, and they couldn’t because of hospital rules. But she said I’d be surprised by how many patients and families plead for more drugs because they’re in so much pain.
“My son doesn’t agree with my views, but young people don’t need to think about death and lots of people don’t want to think about it. However, it’s so important to have an idea of how you’d like your life to end instead of going into it blindly.”Leith has also been involved in many campaigns surrounding food for school children.

It’s true that you could get free school meals if you qualify, but the fact is many families are often not able to afford more than a couple of slices of white bread.
