Death comes eventually to all of us, and most people want to be allowed to die quietly and easily. Unfortunately the dying process often means a lot of pain and distress to ourselves and those around us.

Our purposes:

  • Campaign for a change in the law relating to assisted suicide and euthanasia.
  • Promote knowledge about end of life choices and dignified death.
  • Support carers and those suffering in pain and distress, especially at the end of life.
  • To advance the education of health professionals in the field.
  • To support research in this sphere.


We meet in Glasgow on a Saturday three times a year (and occasionally in London) with a variety of speakers, sometimes doctors, nurses, health care professionals, or speakers with a personal experience to relate. For our next meeting, click here. The gatherings are very friendly and relaxed, and question time is always lively. Non-members are always welcome.

Members receive our quarterly Newsletter, and non-members are welcome to request the latest copy.

A list of current Council Members can be found here.

Please remember FATE in your Will. You may not be able to assist us now, but a Bequest (large or small) in your Will can help us when it cannot help you. It takes lots of effort and money to influence legislation. For a sample Codicil to amend an existing Will, click here or here. Please feel free to contact us for guidance.
