LONDON, February 25,
An earnest former suffragette, who withheld her name, stood up after an address by Lord Ponsonby at a meeting of the Voluntary Euthanasia Legislation Society and told how she had aided a dying relative to commit suicide. "It was one who was dear to me and who had suffered agonies from cancer and looked to me with eyes of silent reproach," she said. "I am glad to say that I was able to help him by putting things his way for him to take his own life."
She added that doctors should be permitted to do this instead of leaving it to distressed relatives.
