Rebecca Wilcox on her mum’s decision to join Dignitas<\/h3>\n

Esther Rantzen’s daughter, Rebecca Wilcox, has broken her silence on her mum\u2019s assisted dying revelations. The broadcaster, who is battling stage four lung cancer, has joined Swiss organisation Dignitas which enables people to have an assisted death.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Radio 4\u2019s The Today Podcast podcast, the 83-year-old confessed she’s considering flying to Zurich if her next scan shows her condition isn\u2019t improving. During Tuesday\u2019s installment of Good Morning Britain, her daughter touched on her mother\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n

Host Richard Madeley asked: \u201cDid your mother make this decision on her own and then reveal it to the rest of you? Or was it sort of a communal family thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebecca replied: \u201cNot talking about this lightly, but I think you have met my mother. I think that you would know she never makes a decision in complete isolation, but she doesn’t care what anyone else thinks!\u201d<\/p>\n

Questioning how they\u2019re feeling as a family, Charlotte highlighted how horrible the situation is that they are facing at this time of year. Rebecca continued: \u201cIt\u2019s horrific, she always promised us she\u2019d live forever so she\u2019s not usually one to break her promises so we\u2019re a little bit upset about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rebecca confessed that the family didn\u2019t think Esther would be with them for Christmas after getting her diagnosis in January.<\/p>\n

Touching on the assisted dying plan, she added: \u201cI would personally want to ground her plane if she was going to fly to Zurich.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, I know that it\u2019s her decision. I just don\u2019t ever want her to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked by Richard if she believes her mother is right about considering assisted dying, Rebecca strongly agreed.<\/p>\n
