California man invites BBC to witness his death as MPs debate assisted dying | BBC News


Wayne Hawkins believes terminally ill people should be able to die when they choose, but others living in his state disagree.

He has less than six months to live, qualifying him for an assisted death in California. His request to die has been approved by two doctors and the lethal medication is self-administered.

He invited BBC News to witness his death under California’s assisted dying laws – because if MPs in London vote to legalise the practice in England and Wales, it will allow some terminally ill people here to die in a similar way.
