Shaking Hands with Death

Terry Pratchett on our right to a good life and a good deathÂ -- the text of his landmark BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture.
Â Â Â Â Why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying for.

â€˜Most men donâ€™t fear death. They fear those thingsÂ -- the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb â€“ which precede, by microseconds if youâ€™re lucky, and many years if youâ€™re not, the moment of death.â€™

When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimerâ€™s in his fifties he was angryÂ -- not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it. In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimblebly Lecture 2010, he argues for our right to choose - our right to a good life, and a good death too.
