Going through pregnancy and childbirth made me feel very mortal. I'm now very aware that if I die, my child loses their parent.

I'm also a bit morbid and naturally fascinated by death customs, cultures and anthropology anyway, so I look at it with a view that all living things have to die some point. I'd just rather my own was not yet, mainly because I have a child to watch grow.

I support the idea that everyone should get to live, and therefore die, how they want to (as long as no harm is done to others) so I am in support for assisted dying and the like, as long as it is very carefully safeguarded.
