86岁的英国电视人物埃丝特·兰茨恩表示，自己已因身体过于虚弱而无法前往瑞士接受辅助死亡服务1。兰茨恩在2023年被诊断为晚期肺癌后，曾计划赴瑞士尊严死亡诊所结束生命1。她指出，这一计划陷入了无法解决的困境："当我身体足够强壮可以乘飞机去瑞士尊严死亡时，我的生活还不是难以忍受的；而等到生活变得难以忍受时，我身体太虚弱无法完成这次旅程"1。
兰茨恩支持英国正在进行的辅助死亡法案立法讨论1。该法案定于本周五在议会进行二读1。根据数据，这一法案在2025年6月的下议院投票中以314票对291票获得通过1。目前，辅助死亡在英国仍属非法1，但已在奥地利、比利时、荷兰、西班牙、瑞士以及澳大利亚、加拿大和美国13个州实现合法化1。
British television personality Esther Rantzen, 86, has revealed that she is now too physically weak to travel to Switzerland to end her life at a dignity clinic, despite having made plans to do so following her late-stage lung cancer diagnosis in 2023.1 Rantzen explained the cruel paradox of her situation: "When I was physically strong enough to fly to Switzerland to Dignitas, my life was still bearable," and "By the time life became unbearable, I was too physically frail to make the journey."1
Rantzen remains a vocal supporter of assisted dying legislation currently being debated in the United Kingdom, where the procedure remains illegal.1 The assisted dying bill is scheduled for its second parliamentary reading this Friday.1 In a June 2025 House of Commons vote, the bill passed with 314 votes in favor and 291 against.1 Several countries and regions have already legalized assisted dying, including Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, and thirteen states within the United States.1
