Vicky Phelan, the cervical cancer campaigner who said she feared she might not live to see Christmas, has appealed to politicians to pass legislation to allow terminally ill people such as herself to be medically assisted to die if they wish.
āNobodyās allowed to give you a magic injection to make you go any faster and I donāt want to be lingering for my kids,ā the Kilkenny woman said yesterday. She was speaking in support of the Sunday Times campaign which is being launched today in support of voluntary assisted death.
Thanking Irish people for the support and affection they have given her, Phelan asked a final favour: to give those in her situation the right to end their suffering.
āJust because you believe something for your own reasons, whether theyāre religious or other, you shouldnāt be imposing your beliefs on somebody else,ā Phelan said.
Having been told four years ago that she had only six to 12 months to live, Phelan, 47, decided in October to stop trying new treatments to prolong her life. She is no longer āas terrified of dying as I wasā but fears the process will take a long time because she is young.

She has seen a ādeath rattleā and could not bear her daughter Amelia, 16, and son Darragh, ten, to go through that.
Phelan has lobbied politicians to support assisted dying and found their attitude to be more conservative than public opinion. āI donāt understand what is it that holds politicians back,ā she said.
She said that when she backed the unsuccessful Dying with Dignity Bill, āmost people were quite supportiveā.
