Sam JacobsGUEST
We were really privileged that the government launched the National Cancer Plan at Future Dreams House, which is extraordinary.
Sam JacobsGUEST
And Ashley Dalton, who was working alongside West Streeting, lives with metastatic breast cancer.
Sam JacobsGUEST
And she came and she was with us for at least half a day.
Sam JacobsGUEST
And in fact, we did a coffee morning with her that morning where she just then became Ashley.
Wendy FrancisHOST
I certainly didn't see it in Australia anywhere, but the UK Parliament has once again rejected the attempt to legalize euthanasia, assisted suicide.
Wendy FrancisHOST
You spoke of how, uh, the fiercest speech came from an MP by the name of Ashley Dalton, um, who is living with stage four metastatic breast cancer.
Wendy FrancisHOST
So, um, this goes to what you were just saying.
Wendy FrancisHOST
She told Parliament the campaign for euthanasia had terrorized dying people with horror stories, but that good palliative care already exists, so that the real job is to fix care, not legalize a premature death.
Sharna ShanmugavadivelGUEST
it did feel like suddenly there was a switch and things were happening.
Sharna ShanmugavadivelGUEST
I think we were so grateful and almost lucky because Wes Streeting and Ashley Dalton had personal experience of cancer themselves.
Sharna ShanmugavadivelGUEST
And I think for them, it was part of their personal journey and personal mission to deliver something for this National Cancer Plan, which we've not had before.
Sharna ShanmugavadivelGUEST
Because I think once you've been touched by cancer... either a very close loved one or your own family or yourself, I think it does change the way that you kind of perceive cancer and what you want for other people.
Fleur MestonGUEST
I do think that the number one has been scaremongering.
Fleur MestonGUEST
Just these descriptions of horrific deaths, which the Labour MP Ashley Dalton, who has terminal cancer, she stood up and said, if I... based my perception of what my illness and my death will look like on the campaign for assisted suicide, I would think I'm going to be choking on my own vomit.
Fleur MestonGUEST
And that's so rare.
Fleur MestonGUEST
That is so rare.
Simon CalvertGUEST
And individual speeches that stood out last week.
Simon CalvertGUEST
I mean, honestly, Ashley Dalton, taken to her feet in the Commons.
Simon CalvertGUEST
She has stage four terminal breast cancer.
Simon CalvertGUEST
Just listening to her speak was a pin drop moment for everyone.
