Friends at the End

Friends at the End, or FATE, is a British organisation devoted to promoting knowledge about end-of-life choices and dignified death. The organisation distributes books about suicide methods such as terminal dehydration.[1] At least one FATE council member, Michael Irwin,[2] claims to have helped terminally ill patients go to Dignitas.[3] Dr. Libby Wilson is the organisation's convener and medical advisor.[4] In 2009, Wilson was arrested for allegedly assisting suicide.[5]
